About
Engineer and founder in Munich.
I build software for problems that look tedious from the outside and turn out to be enormous underneath.
I grew up in Hanoi and moved to Germany at eighteen. I studied Computer Science at LMU, paid my way through with side jobs, and learned to actually ship by entering hackathons and building things people used.
That led to nearly two years as an AI engineer at SAP, working on cloud observability and multi-agent tooling for S/4HANA, and learning what it takes to run large systems under real reliability pressure. In September 2025 I left to work on Arctis full-time.
The bet behind Arctis is simple: construction runs on documents, and those documents are a mess. Bids arrive in incompatible formats, the real risks hide in cover letters and annexes, and teams still compare everything by hand over days. We build the layer that makes the documents comparable and the risks visible, with every number traceable to its source.
I do my best work slightly out of my depth, which is most of why I left a stable job to start a company.
