I engineer AI systems and full-stack software, help businesses integrate AI into their workflows, and teach people how to build with modern AI tools.
// EDUCATION
// PROFESSIONAL & INDEPENDENT EXPERIENCE
Architecting autonomous AI agent coordination systems, self-hosted LLM infrastructure, full-stack web applications, and developer tooling with high-velocity spec-driven vibe coding.
- Conceived and architected Chief of Agents, an AI-native project coordination framework for parallel multi-agent software engineering
- Created Not Limited, an initiative focused on removing technical and financial barriers for non-traditional builders and Vietnamese creators
- Authored open-source GPU Rental Kit (github.com/TysonTranThai/gpu-rental-kit) to automate bare-metal GPU provisioning for vLLM inference
- Deploying self-hosted open-weight LLMs (DeepSeek, Llama 3, Qwen) on private Linux VPS clusters with automated SSL and Nginx routing
Partnering directly with small business owners, solo founders, and operators to design and implement customized AI workflows, support bots, and internal automation tools.
- Audited client operational workflows to identify high-ROI automation and AI integration opportunities
- Built custom 24/7 AI customer support bots and knowledge retrieval systems (RAG) integrated with company documentation
- Automated cross-platform data synchronization between CRMs, messaging platforms (Telegram/Slack), and spreadsheets
- Trained non-technical client teams on practical prompt engineering and daily AI tool adoption
Mentoring students, founders, and aspiring builders in spec-driven vibe coding, full-stack web development, and AI agent orchestration through project-first hands-on sessions.
- Designed a 7-step independence learning roadmap: Goal → Understand → Learn → Build → Debug → Deploy → Build Independently
- Guided complete beginners and students from zero coding knowledge to shipping their first live web applications on Vercel
- Taught practical context engineering, `.cursorrules` creation, and terminal CLI navigation for high-velocity AI pair programming
- Created collaborative community learning environments centered on figuring things out through real execution
Founded and operated basketball merchandise and athletic equipment e-commerce projects, developing commercial intuition in sourcing, branding, and customer communication.
- Managed end-to-end product sourcing, supplier evaluation, and international inventory logistics
- Designed digital storefronts, brand visual identities, and social marketing campaigns
- Handled customer inquiries, order fulfillment, refund policies, and margin calculations
- Gained foundational entrepreneurial experience that now directly shapes practical software architecture decisions
// SELECTED TECHNICAL PROJECTS
An intelligent orchestration system that bridges the gap between simple AI prototyping and production software engineering. Chief of Agents takes high-level user goals, generates structured implementation specs, breaks them down into isolated tasks, and coordinates specialized AI coding agents in parallel with automated review and revision loops.
A personal mission and open ecosystem built on the conviction that no one should be prevented from building their ideas simply because they lack money or a formal computer science degree. Offers accessible tools, guidance, and free AI building resources.
A modular open-source toolkit and automated script suite designed to rapidly configure, secure, and deploy bare-metal cloud GPUs (RunPod, Vast.ai, Lambda Labs) for private LLM inference, vLLM acceleration, and model fine-tuning with zero manual boilerplate.
