☀️ GM! I'm Tin Chung
hi there, my name is Tin Chung. I am a Vietnamese tech enthusiast.

as a software engineer._
I started building software in high school as a self-taught developer, with C# as my first language.
To refine my skills, I pursued a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology at RMIT University Vietnam. I've been coding for 6 years and have worked professionally as a software engineer for 4 years, starting during my sophomore year.
My primary languages include Rust, TypeScript, and C++, though my expertise extends beyond these.

as a developer relation engineer._
in addition to my core engineering work, I enjoy sharing knowledge with others who share a passion for technology.
in 2024, I founded a community called OpenGuild to represent the Polkadot protocol in Southeast Asia. I grew the community from zero to 1,000 Discord members and 100 GitHub followers in under six months, with those numbers still rising. (Thanks to my colleague Cris Nguyen for make this works)
I create tutorials, host workshops, present at conferences, and use software to growth-hack the community.

as an open-source contributor._
I enjoy building Free Open-Source Software (FOSS) and contributing to existing open-source projects.
I admire engineers who focus on innovation and discovery over profit, which is a mindset I bring to building the OpenGuild developer community.
Outside of my professional work, I dedicate my spare time to exploring and contributing to FOSS.
