About me

👋 Hello! I'm Hieu Ho, a software developer with a strong interest in Open Source, Software Development, and technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain.



Besides coding, I'm interested in building and nurturing tech communities. I have been part of various national and international tech initiatives, including the Meta Developer Circle in Hanoi, Google Developer Student Clubs, Global AI Community, SheCodesVietnam, and GirlScriptIndia. These experiences have enabled me to develop skills and gain knowledge in the tech industry while also helping me to create a thriving community that empowers individuals to enhance their technical and professional abilities.

As a Web3 developer advocate, I also executed a variety of ecosystem development and developer relations activities in the APAC region including Speaker at BUIDL Vietnam 2023, ETH Vietnam 2022 and Mentor at the Scaling Ethereum 2023, ETH Tokyo 2023, and ETH Taipei 2023.

As an individual who is passionate about international relations, economics, and policy, I have taken it upon myself to attend several global summits including Global Youth Leaders Summit 2019, Belt and Road Global Youth Leaders Summit 2019, Google Developer Student Club Lead Summit 2019, Asia-Pacific Youth Labor Trend Forum 2019, ASEAN-Korea Economic Forum 2022, and The ROK-Mekong Youth Group Workshop 2022 to leverage my technological expertise to bring about positive change in our society.

I am looking for software engineering opportunities to create impactful solutions for people. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
