A Journey of Self-Discovery

At the age of 13, I was introduced to programming, a discovery that would shape my path in unexpected ways. Without immediate support from my family, who didn’t quite understand my growing interest in technology at the time, I took matters into my own hands. I turned to the vast resources available online and began teaching myself the basics of coding. It wasn’t easy, and there were moments of frustration, but every small breakthrough—the moment a piece of code finally worked—felt like unlocking a new level in a game. The thrill of solving problems through code quickly became more than just a pastime; it sparked a deep curiosity within me and set the foundation for my love of learning.

As I delved deeper, I discovered that solving problems wasn’t about following a fixed formula. What fascinated me the most was how a single problem could have multiple solutions, each unique in its approach and logic. This realization fueled my curiosity even more, pushing me to dive deeper into the world of coding. Paired with my long standing passion for physics, I started applying what I had learned to build robotic projects. These projects were my way of blending theory with practical application, and they opened my eyes to the endless possibilities that come from combining different fields of knowledge, further expanding my understanding of the world.

My father often said, 'Young people today hold phones instead of knowledge.' He meant that in his generation, books and newspapers were the primary sources of information. As a young person born and raised in an era of rapid technological advancements, I agree that phones have become an indispensable part of our lives. However, I believe that knowledge is not confined to the pages of traditional books. With the development of technology, we now have new tools to access information, such as online platforms. Inspired by this idea, I developed the "BookCircle" to trade used books.

Research: Using machine learning to identify Vietnamese spam messages.

I've noticed that there are over 2,650 languages and more than 7,000 dialects worldwide, and among them, Vietnamese - a language rich in cultural identity - is also considered one of the most difficult languages. Meanwhile, in the digital age, spam has become a major challenge for internet users. Recognizing the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in addressing this issue, I conducted a study on applying machine learning to detect Vietnamese spam.

GART was the first place I chose to code my destiny, and it's also where I've stayed the longest. More than just a club, GART is an inspiration and a knowledge charging station for robotics for the young generation of Vietnam. Notably, GART is also the cradle of pride - the only FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) team in Vietnam.

"TechTitans" is a combination of Technology and Titans - the giant, powerful gods representing the primordial forces of the universe in Greek mythology. The name "TechTitans" evokes the image of passionate, talented, and creative students who will become "giants," leaders, and influential figures in the field of technology in the future. They are pioneers, ready to explore and conquer the heights of technology.

"CIGNS" stands for Computer Science and Sign language. The project focuses on people who cannot hear or speak, helping them communicate using sign language. Artificial intelligence (AI) in the project is capable of recognizing and translating gestures, facial expressions, and hand movements in sign language, helping people with disabilities convey ideas, messages, and interact with those around them more easily and confidently.
