Hi, I'm Huy

I'm a senior full-stack software engineer building realtime and AI products end to end — from Django/FastAPI backends and React frontends to Kubernetes infrastructure — and the author of open source libraries like chanx, fast-channels, nplus1, and drf-auth-kit. This blog is where I write about what I learn along the way.
