14.2 | 7 | I am originally from Vietnam, I currently live in Berlin and travel regularly to Asia (Singapore, Vietnam, India, China). I got into Free and Open Source while I was in university and loved to participate in the community meeting Internationals from all over the world. Inspired by many communities, I founded [[FOSSASIA>>url:https://fossasia.org||style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"]] with the goal to bring together a community of contributors across borders and ages to form a better future with Open Source technologies in 2009. | |

I also run events such as [[OpenTechSummits in China>>url:https://opentechsummit.cn/]], [[Science Hackathons in Vietnam>>url:https://sciencehack.asia/]] and [[Jugaad Fests>>url:https://jugaadfest.com/]] in India. I created and managed online coding programs for education like [[Codeheat>>url:https://codeheat.org]], which introduce more than 1,000 students to open source each year. | |

I offer advice to companies around open source development models and community engagement. I recently joined [[Zalando SE>>url:https://opensource.zalando.com/docs/reports/2019/january-2019/]]. My job involves bringing open source best practices within the walls of the company and fostering code sharing and collaboration across business units and teams. | |
