After years of late-night coding sessions, group projects, and countless cups of coffee, I finally crossed the finish line — I graduated from HUFLIT with distinction in Information Technology. This moment wasn’t just about receiving a degree. It was about the journey: the challenges I faced, the mentors who guided me, and the friendships that made it all worthwhile. I still remember the excitement of building my first backend system, the nerves before presenting in front of the faculty, and the quiet pride of seeing my efforts recognized. Graduating with distinction is a reflection of the dedication I poured into every assignment, every exam, and every opportunity to grow. Now, with this chapter behind me, I’m stepping into the tech industry with confidence, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the foundation HUFLIT has given me. Here’s to the next adventure — and to never stopping learning.

I am deeply honored to have received the ACB The Outstanding Next Banker award during my internship at Asia Commercial Bank (ACB), one of the leading banks in Vietnam. As a Backend Developer Intern, I contributed to building and optimizing banking systems using Spring Boot and Core Banking technologies. Beyond my technical contributions, I proactively supported my colleagues by offering assistance, sharing knowledge, and collaborating to overcome challenges efficiently. This award recognizes my dedication to innovation, teamwork, and a collaborative mindset, all aimed at delivering impactful solutions to enhance ACB's digital banking services. It also reflects my passion for creating scalable, efficient, and secure systems that improve user experiences in the financial sector.

Back in my uni days at HUFLIT, I poured my heart into everything. Somehow, it paid off: I landed in the top 1 of the IT Faculty and got a 60% scholarship that helped fuel the dream. And I forget to take a photo with the award, but I still have the certificate.

I'm thrilled to share that I've been awarded the Lotte Shin Kyuk-Ho Global Scholarship! This prestigious scholarship recognizes my academic achievements and potential, and I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity to further my studies in IT.

This is the first time that I received the Excellent Student award at HUFLIT, although I only ended up in top 2 of the IT Faculty. It was a great motivation for me to keep pushing myself in the next academic year. I'm aiming for the top 1 next time! Also, it's quite a shame that I didn't take a photo with the award, but I still have the certificate.
