(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Computer Software industry)

Creating the first phase of the web application is very exciting and rewarding work. I am responsible for implementing the features, requirements and wireframes into the final production website.
Together we've been policelink.com in about 8 weeks. I designed and implemented the registration system and user model which is central to the application. I also responsible for integrating 3rd party monster api job search to the site. -
Self Employeed/Entrepreneur
Tung Nguyen (Self-employed)
(Self-Employed; Myself Only; Computer Software industry)
July 2006 — February 2007 (8 months)
Being self-employed and doing contract work comes with as many rewards as it does challenges. I am much more involved with handling clients and their respective projects and deadlines then when I was a full time employee. The best part of the work experience is completing a project and knowing that I have done a great job.
During this time, I started Tongueroo: a hot deals website. In building the website, I built rss scrapers, learned about caching, and gained extensive and general knowledge about running webservers. -
Electrical Engineer
Aixtron AG / Genus, Inc.
(Public Company; 201-500 employees; AIXG; Semiconductors industry)
February 2004 — June 2006 (2 years 5 months)
Genus is a small semiconductor manufacturer company. I wore all types of hats in the small company and did whatever was needed to get the semiconductor tools running. One week I would debug the electrical wiring in the valve counter box; the next week I would program ladder logic for the I/O controllers, and yet another week I would draft electrical plans for how the heating controller should be wired. Overall, it was a great learning experience filled with interesting challenges.
