About me
Hi, I am Nguyen Thanh Tu, from Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam 👋 You can find me on Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Github.
I'm a hard-working frontend engineer with a strong passion for frontend tooling. I enjoy sharing my latest discoveries with teammates and assisting them to enhance their work experience. Additionally, I bring a sense of humor to the team, ensuring that you'll never be bored when I'm around.
When I was a student at university, I founded a student club dedicated to frontend coding. We delved into various frameworks such as React.js, Vue.js, and Angular. During that time, I was also very active in answering questions on Stack Overflow:
Favorite quotes
Here are quotes I love and find inspiring. I'm trying to live by them, but it's been a bit tough.
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. - Leonardo da Vinci
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right. - Henry Ford
Open-Source Contributions
I have a deep love for the open-source community, and all of my work is driven by open-source technologies. I'm not just a consumer; I also aspire to give back. However, it hasn't been easy. Initially, I only contributed to documentation fixes. As time passed, I gained the ability to submit feature-related pull requests. Each merged pull request brings me great happiness. I dream of creating an open-source project that gains more than 100 stars, but it seems like a daunting challenge.
