Minh Hoang Nguyen
Software engineer and indie maker in Tokyo. Building software professionally since 2017, across startups, large enterprises, and my own products.
What I do
Zero to production
Scope with business and design, then ship MVPs to real customers.
Backend and platform
Scalable backend systems and the foundations that keep them secure, observable, and reliable.
AI-driven lean teams
Small product-engineer teams that cut vendor dependency, time to market, and cost.
Full-stack and native
Web and native apps, from the interface down to the infrastructure.
Selected work
- Led a small team taking a B2B construction product from zero to production.
- Proposed moving a proof of concept from VBA to JavaScript, which sharply shortened the path to MVP.
- Led an online newspaper platform that let B2B customers manage their own content, cutting internal workload.
- Built auth, user services, and cross-service traceability for a microservices social platform.
- Connected point-card POS data to a coupon platform, so scans trigger rewards automatically.
- Built live rankings and PvP APIs for a social game, raising engagement and the paying-user ratio.
