About Me


A Software Engineering student, in Junior year, Competencies in software management related project, expected to graduate in October 2020. I have 3 years experience in Software Quality Assurance. I am a proficient in Full-Stack JavaScrit developer, while having affair with Design.

I love building things. While hard engineering problems are often intrinsically fun to tackle, I'm most attracted to solving real customer problems with a business justification, and design thinking. I'm looking for a senior individual contributor role where I can take on collaborative team leadership responsibilites, and gain experience with architecture and project management.

Highlights

Interests


My personal interests include:

  • Women Empowerment. Throughout Wedu , Development Innovation program supported by USAID Cambodia, I developed and improve myself in term of personal and professional growth. So far, It is a door that connected me to various opportunities in Tech. Plus, I envision where half of the world techie are women.
  • Deep learning. It's an exciting time for machine learning. I'm working through several online classes, and swap articles with collegues.
  • Internet of Things. I've been an enthusiastic hobbiest since I was a teenager - but only as an adult am I able to afford the higher-quality devices. I like to modify existing kits to improve speed, and add instrumentation.
  • Graphic Design. I live in Kirirom, a mountain in Cambodia. I believe great products come at the intersection of technology, art and nature. I enjoy spending weekends on design and getting lost in the coloring.
