Hi, I'm Valery Nguyen

Software Engineer located in San Francisco Bay Area

Check out some of my recent projects !

Story

As a problem solver turned Software Engineer, I enjoy collaborating with other engineers and developers and tackling challenging problems together. What I like most is solving complex problems all over the stack.

I specialize in JavaScript, ReactJS, ReduxJS, Angular, Go, C++, Java, Ruby on Rails, Google Cloud Platform, as well as in other technologies like GraphQL, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Microsoft Server SQL, Express.js, and Node.js.

After graduating from UCLA with a Bachelor of Science degree, I started my career with ORANO. There, I worked 2 years on automation hardware and 5+ years on the control systems software.

Moving back to the Bay Area, I decided to focus on Web Development and stepped in the Tech industry with AlertEnterprise. After 1.5 year, I joined Google, where I am at presently.

Outside of Web Development, I am also passionate about emerging tech (e.g blockchain, AI) and their impact on international economics + social policies. As I lived in France for 17 years, I like exploring what makes each culture unique and exciting!
