HOW MY CAREEER STARTED

This is a short history of my passion in computer and software and where I am now:

1990

The first time I ever saw a computer

My family were very poor, I was 11 year old, helping my family sell newspaper and food on the street in Saigon. I never thought I would be lucky enough to play with a computer until one day, a generous stranger gave me a large amount of money so I can take this computer class with her. With such an opportunity, I took that class very seriously and my love for computer begin to grows. We were using Microsoft Windows 3.0 on an Intel 386 processor and I checked out all the software that was available during that time.

1993

We came to America

This was the best moment in my life, at age 14, arriving in America, I knew what an opporunity I had and promised myself to become somebody. This was a dream come true and I can say so for every Vietnamese person at that time. At this time I know quite a bit about computer but my knowledge exploded when I joined the online computer community through different BBS forums. I begin to learn advance computer skills like Assembly (machine language) and debugging/cracking software, and software developement using C language.

1997

Made my first online game

I was working for a graphic design company and made a popular game playable on my website called Karo (5 in a row) similar to tic-tac-toe. It was done in JavaScript and the graphic was impressive at the time. I also made a dynamic website with JavaScript and Flash which made me very popular. I finished high school in 3.5 years and started college early, at this time I was working at the Graphic Design company, going to college, and had maintained my photo restoration business at the same time. I never stopped researching about computers and software technology, I go to the bookstore almost every week to check out the new magazines and books about computers.

2000

KLA-Tencor hired me for their Software Development team

Programmers were in high demand and I was pulled out of college and paid a high sallary to work as a developer for KLA-Tencor. We made defects analisys software for semiconductor manufacturing company. At the age of 20, I was traveling to France, Japan, Taiwan, all over the world to setup specialized software and configure servers for multi-billion dollar fabrication companies.

2006

I resigned from KLA-Tencor so I can pursue my dream of owning my own software/hardware company. KT Electronics is still one of the fastest growing and most technologically advanced electronics repair company in Silicon Valley. We repair all of Apple products, Sony Playstation 3, Xbox, all laptops, Nintendos. We specialize in component level water damage repairs.
