Hello! 👋

I'm Tuan Nguyen

Sophomore CS Student | Aspiring Software Engineer

About Me

I’m a Computer Science student at Iowa State University focused on building scalable, reliable software. I work on automated validation pipelines for high-performance computing code, improving execution success and reducing debugging time through reproducible engineering practices. I’ve also shipped full-stack systems with real-time communication, optimized databases, and automated CI/CD to ensure performance under real load.
