Dat Nguyen 🇻🇳
Data & AI @ Tech Lead
👨💻 a Dad engineer · 🩸 a blood of Data · 💻 a Coder
With data literally in my name and AI in my veins, I help companies make smarter decisions than my phone's autocorrect. From transforming messy spreadsheets into insightful dashboards to building data pipelines that actually work at 3 AM, I specialize in turning your "I think" into "I know" with the power of cloud-scale analytics and a dash of machine learning magic.
