About

I am a dedicated and results-driven Mechanical Engineering professional with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Connecticut. Currently working as an Engineering Technician at ASML, I bring strong analytical skills and a solid foundation in Lean Manufacturing, systems analysis, and cross-functional collaboration. With experience in a cleanroom environment and working under ISO 9000/14000 standards, I am highly capable of delivering quality solutions within fast-paced, complex environments. My technical expertise spans a broad array of software, including SolidWorks, Java, Python, MATLAB, Ansys, CATIA, and Siemens NX, among others. I am also well-versed in systems like SAP and LabView. I am continuously improving my skills and have earned a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification, which complements my problem-solving and process improvement capabilities. In addition to my technical background, I possess a strong set of leadership and management skills, developed through my work at Pho Nha Trang and as a Kumon Instructor. I thrive in team environments, where I collaborate with others to achieve optimal results and deliver exceptional quality. Fluent in Vietnamese, Spanish, and conversational in Japanese, I embrace diversity and communication as key strengths. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have been actively involved in a variety of extracurricular activities, such as the 3D Printing Club and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. These experiences have allowed me to continuously grow my technical skill set, especially in design and innovation. I am always looking for new opportunities to apply my expertise in mechanical engineering, process improvement, and team leadership to contribute to the success of innovative projects. Feel free to connect with me if you're interested in discussing opportunities or collaborating on projects.
