Experience

FPT Software AI Center

Senior AI Engineer

Sep 2024 - Present

Provided technical leadership for an 8-9-person team across system design, experimentation and code reviews; clarified stakeholder requirements and coordinated frontend/backend delivery.

Enterprise contract intelligence & agent architecture

  • Designed the AI architecture for an enterprise contract-analysis platform serving approximately 1,000 users, using LangGraph to coordinate multi-step document review and tool-based analysis.
  • Made retrieved answers traceable to source documents through citation-backed retrieval; added response caching to reuse LLM outputs and evaluated lower-cost models against task requirements.
  • Preserved contract metadata and master-data history across revisions through snapshot versioning, supported by PostgreSQL/pgvector and OpenSearch data models.

Enterprise integration & feature access

  • Integrated the contract platform with an internal AI service, addressing cross-service authentication and secure connectivity requirements within enterprise infrastructure.
  • Designed Salesforce Canvas and SSO integration to embed the contract platform into existing business workflows, defining application embedding and API contracts across systems.
  • Enabled business-unit-specific feature access through a Business Line permission matrix, enforcing the same feature restrictions across backend APIs and the application UI.

Knowledge graphs & software lifecycle intelligence

  • Built traceable links between requirements, documentation, source code and defects in a knowledge graph, giving QA and engineering a connected view of information spread across Rally, wikis and code repositories.
  • Led a feasibility study for test generation grounded in requirement dependencies; modeled epic, feature and user-story relationships to supply context for scenarios spanning multiple requirements.

Document intelligence & applied research

  • Designed ingestion to preserve document layout and section hierarchy for contextual retrieval; evaluated vision-language classification and document parsers to inform the pipeline design.

Document extraction, workflow APIs & cloud delivery

  • Researched document-parsing approaches and led PDF parser development with Python libraries and Azure Document Intelligence, preserving layout for downstream extraction.
  • Applied cloud-based LLMs to automate structured data extraction and formatting, connecting PDF parsing to reusable document-processing workflows.
  • Designed LLM invocation scheduling and rate-limit handling to manage constrained API capacity across concurrent document-processing workloads.
  • Led backend development for a LangFlow-based application that lets users compose PDF processing workflows through a visual interface; built APIs for flow execution and modular parsing components.
  • Contributed Kubernetes deployment scripts and supported GCP rollout, working across backend integration and deployment troubleshooting.

AI Engineer

Jul 2021 - Oct 2023

Vietnamese NLP, model optimization & conversational applications

  • Designed and maintained scripted chatbot interaction flows; integrated LangChain and prompt-based responses to handle open-ended queries beyond predefined scenarios.
  • Developed Vietnamese question-generation models using BARTPho and Marian, including custom pointer mechanisms for out-of-vocabulary handling.
  • Built sentiment-classification models for user messages to support analysis and visualization of chatbot interactions.
  • Fine-tuned pretrained language models using Hugging Face SFT Trainer and LoRA, with task-specific hyperparameter experimentation.
  • Applied ONNX and TorchScript for inference optimization; used DVC to version data and experiments and keep model iterations reproducible.

Projects

Current work and earlier projects, from Vietnamese NLP to agent workflows and product development.

Multi-Agent Executive Assistant

Stateful agent workflows for executive tasks, news, meetings, email and document search.

LangGraph · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · Microsoft Graph · Docker

  • Developed a stateful multi-agent assistant routing requests across task management, news briefings, meeting summaries, email drafting and document search.
  • Implemented LLM relevance filtering for news and extracted report structure from sample PDF/DOCX files so generated briefings follow the requested format; supported PDF and DOCX export.
  • Worked on PostgreSQL checkpoint connection lifecycle, async task persistence and deadline/status handling; implemented human-in-the-loop confirmation flows for Teams/Planner integration.

PRISM | AI Self-Reflection App

Coming soon

A bilingual iOS self-reflection product with streamed AI responses and a privacy-conscious backend.

Flutter · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · Redis · RevenueCat

  • Developed a bilingual iOS product and async Python backend with provider-agnostic AI responses streamed over server-sent events (SSE).
  • Implemented Redis-backed cost reservations and cancellation cleanup to control concurrent generation spend and release resources after interrupted requests.
  • Worked on subscription webhook reconciliation and account-merge consistency, alongside encrypted private text and privacy-conscious telemetry; prepared release checks and local validation.

LangChain Chatbot

A streaming chatbot with conversation memory, prompt tracing and PII anonymization.

OpenAI / Vertex AI · MongoDB · Gradio · LangSmith · Microsoft Presidio

  • Built a streaming chatbot with MongoDB-backed conversation memory and configurable bot behavior; added LangSmith prompt versioning and tracing.
  • Integrated Microsoft Presidio to anonymize personally identifiable information before sending content to the LLM.

The AI-Driven Blog

New blog project that heavily uses ChatGPT and Cursor. As a back-end enthusiast who's no fan of CSS, I relied on these AI tools to help shape both the design and content. From styling advice to layout tweaks, the entire process was an AI-driven collaboration—and it turned out surprisingly well!

Next.js · React · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS · ChatGPT · Cursor

  • Used AI-assisted iteration to build and refine the site: implementation in Cursor, browser review, screenshot-based feedback and targeted UI adjustments.
  • Built a personal publishing and portfolio site with searchable blog posts, topic filters, light/dark themes and responsive layouts.
  • Connected structured profile data to the About page and a reproducible PDF resume, keeping the full website portfolio separate from the CV selection.

Covid Chatbot

Led the development of a consultancy chatbot for SARS-COVID-2 patients, providing symptom assessment and self-care advice. Implemented machine learning models (KNN, SVM) for Intent Classification and developed a Named Entity Recognition system using PhoBERT and CRF.

Python · FastAPI · Vietnamese NLP · scikit-learn · MongoDB

  • Separated natural language understanding, dialogue management and response generation, with structured intent/entity results passed between stages.
  • Used TF-IDF features with KNN and SVM classification; maintained conversation context to support follow-up questions rather than isolated one-turn replies.
  • Connected the conversation API and frontend, with stored dialogue state and structured response options. This is a historical engineering project; no clinical validation or deployment scale is claimed.

Chatbot Template

A reusable AI application backend organized around specialized experts, configurable model components and interchangeable conversation memory.

FastAPI · LangChain · RAG · Dependency injection · MongoDB · Docker

  • Separated expert behavior from shared model, memory, embedding and vector-database interfaces to make new workflows easier to add.
  • Implemented a document retrieval expert with PDF loading, semantic chunking, document metadata and synchronous/asynchronous indexing paths.
  • Organized reusable application setup and containerized development around the same backend foundation used for conversational applications.
