Thien Nguyen — Sydney, AU
I'm an engineer who designs
Ten-plus years building in TypeScript across React and Next.js, Shopify, WooCommerce, and WordPress through headless platforms, with GraphQL underneath. Core Web Vitals, WCAG/ARIA, and tests in Jest and Vitest on everything I ship — plus a fleet of coding agents in the daily workflow.
What matters to me is less which stack wins the argument and more how the work gets done: I hold a high bar on quality, stay responsive when a client needs an answer, and I'm straight about tradeoffs rather than telling people what they want to hear. I show up as a real teammate, not just a pair of hands — remote, in the room, or across time zones, I adapt to how the team runs. And I'm still the person who picks up a new tool or model just to see what it can do, then puts it to work.

Work from past agencies and employers, not my own products — some built solo, some as part of a team.
