Hello everyone, my name is Thuan and I can do stuff!
I joined Functional in early 2025 and will try my luck as a Cloud Data Engineer. My journey into the tech world has always been a mix of curiosity, problem solving and a love for optimizing processes and I’m looking forward to the new challenges at Functional.
My original field of expertise was Mechanical Engineering where I received my Master of Science degree. During my studies I worked on various projects in which I was tasked with optimizing and automating processes. It was there that I first noticed how data wasn’t being used as effectively as it could be, which sparked my curiosity about data-driven software solutions and predicting outcomes.
To deepen my technical skills I attended a software bootcamp that taught Full Stack Development skills and later joined a software company for the food industry. I started as a backend engineer but quickly became involved with databases, DevOps, cloud solutions and even Windows administration topics. Eventually, I took over responsibility for all DevOps topics within my team, gaining valubale experience in cloud technologies along the way.
I am excited to explore the endless possibilities of data and cloud solutions. The ability to predict, optimize and solve complex problems, in a ever-evolving tech landscape will always keep me engaged.
Functional gives me the opportunity to keep learning while working alongside a fantastic and supportive team and I look forward to becoming a supportive pillar of the team myself. I can continue to be curious and work towards optimizing workflows, improving teamwork or diving into the latest technologies.
Outside of work, I used to dance competitively, but these days, I mostly dance around code and IT challenges - which, to be honest, can be just as chaotic and fun! I’m also a huge comic and manga geek, so if you ever want to chat about nerdy stuff outside of IT - I’m your guy.
