HELLO,

NICE TO MEET YOU∕∕ENJOY YOUR STAY

IM TUAN.

∕∕ BLURB_001.TXT

Thanks for visiting my website! I spent a lot of time making it, so I hope you have as much fun looking around as I had building it. Originally made this because tech twitter made me jealous - now I can't imagine not keeping it updated.

∕∕ BLURB_002.TXT

Currently on the Migrations team at Cockroach Labs moving people from legacy databases to CRDB. Previously at Tesla, CertiK, Skinopathy, Arima Data, Artemis Data, and 4PAY. Stay tuned to see what I'm building next (it's not coming for a while).
