About me

My name is Duong Xuan Truong and I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Language and with a second major in Finance and Banking. After working in roles centered around doing English-Vietnamese interpretation and translation and project management assistance for five years, I realized that working with and understanding computers really does give me joy. So, I decided to redirect my focuses.

I first started my re-education with the Python programming language. Immediately, I fell in love with its simplistic and readable syntax. I continued to learn and tinker with the language for several months. Then, I stumbled upon the fascinating world of Web Development after discovering Freecodecamp site. From that point on, I have spent countless hours working with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and the React library, in hopes that I can someday put my technical know-how to good use.
