About
(Alex) Hung Nguyen
Senior Backend & Platform Engineer
I’m an engineer with a leadership background who stayed deliberately hands-on. I’ve led engineering organizations, but what I care about is building real systems — designing the architecture, making the tradeoffs, and shipping the code.
These days I work on backend and platform systems: transaction processing, distributed services, and the CI/CD and cloud infrastructure that supports them. This site is where I show that work through clean-room R&D builds and write about how it’s done.
