Hi, I’m Tuan 🤙
😎 I am a Data Science Enthusiast and currently working as a Risk Modeler at Validus Vietnam.
🎓 Growing up in a small village next to a rice field, I opted to chase equations instead of grasshoppers by diving into math at the age of 10 (though my current math skills might say otherwise 👀). I later graduated with a degree in Accounting & Auditing from the Foreign Trade University, HCMC Campus.
📚 When I’m not doing data, I might be:
learning math/statistics/data stuff,
drinking coffee,
listening to Vietnamese rap/pop rock,
reading sci-fi novels, history books,
playing pool (mostly ten-ball),
training Brazilian jiu-jitsu,
and occasionally traveling or hiking.
Why do I write?
“It has often been said that a person doesn’t really understand something until he teaches it to someone else. Actually a person doesn’t really understand something until he can teach it to a computer, i.e. express it as an algorithm.” 1
Yes indeed, docendo discimus, people are increasingly recognizing the effectiveness of teaching as a learning tool. Research shows that students who tutor others, in any format, gain a deeper understanding of concepts by having to explain them accurately. Blogging allows me to document my learning journey, share it with readers, and get their feedback – all of which contribute to my own learning.
This blog is devoted my learning & sharing journey, and will be written in Vietnamese/Tiếng Việt (80%), English (10%), and Mandarin Chinese/汉语 (10%).
If you share the same interest, do not hesitate to contact me. I am best reached via Facebook.
