About Me

Nam Nguyen

Hi there, My name is Nam Nguyen. I am a student at Vietnam National University. As a motivated and enthusiastic college student with fundamental knowledge of computer science and mathematics. When I was an undergraduate, I've participated in several competitive programming contests. Recently, I'm pursuing to become a software engineer. I am flexible and eager to learn more about technical skills and working knowledge of software applications to broaden my horizon. Besides, I enjoy playing computer games like League of Legends (LOL) and VALORANT.
