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.

9 **Community **

11 I organize community events, developer summits, and code-camps throughout the year [[across Asia>>url:https://events.fossasia.org]] such as [[FOSSASIA OpenTechSummit>>url:https://2019.fossasia.org]] in Singapore, an event where open source contributors from around the world get together to share, collaborate, and build a bridge between the East and West. 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.

15 I support the the development of a number of open source projects, including [[SUSI.AI>>url:https://chat.susi.ai/]], the open source voice assistant framework, [[Pocket Science Lab>>url:https://pslab.io/]], a miniaturized FOSS hardware and software laboratory, and [[Eventyay>>url:https://eventyay.com/]], an open source event solution. 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.

25 I speak Vietnamese, English and Chinese and I am also learning German. I enjoy teaching and sharing Open Source with people from all backgrounds: Young students to working adults and elderly. I visited many hackerspaces around the world. I was lucky enough to speak at conferences like [[35c3>>url:https://youtu.be/NDcwl3n47ak]], [[32c3>>url:https://youtu.be/n0FZdl7LBbk]], [[FOSDEM>>url:https://mirror.librelabucm.org/fosdem/2019/AW1.125/pocket_science_lab.mp4]] etc.

27 My favorite thing to do when I am not working is swimming, traveling and learning languages. I also enjoy setting up wifi networks with friends. I hosted many FOSS contributors in the eco-hotel I founded in my hometown in the Mekong Delta and I am always excited to make new friends in the community and welcome them.
