About Me

Senior Backend Engineer → Solution Architect

I'm Nam Nguyen (Karify98), Senior Backend Engineer at Monstarlab Vietnam with 8 years of experience building backend systems serving millions of users. From NodeJS/TypeScript to Golang, from PostgreSQL to DynamoDB — I always pick the right tool for the job.

Currently expanding into Solution Architecture and DevOps: designing distributed systems, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and monitoring. The goal is to see the full picture — from code to infra.

Alongside that, I'm diving deep into AI/ML — integrating AI agents into workflows, automating content creation, and exploring ways to apply AI to real-world products.

My Approach

System Thinking

Looking at problems across layers — from business logic to infrastructure, from performance to cost. The best solutions live at the intersection.

Pragmatic Engineering

Perfect code doesn't exist. Ship-ready, maintainable, scalable — that's the standard.

Continuous Evolution

Backend → SA/DevOps → AI/ML. Never stop expanding scope. Great engineers adapt fast.
