About Thanh Dang

As a Full-stack Developer, I specialize in building complete applications, bridging the gap between complex back-end logic and intuitive user interfaces.

My expertise covers the entire development lifecycle: architecting scalable databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), developing secure APIs (Node.js, Python), and building responsive front-ends (React, Next.js) that deliver a seamless user experience.

Focus

  • End-to-End Application Architecture & Development
  • API Design & Implementation (Node.js, Python, REST, GraphQL)
  • Modern Frontend Development (React, Next.js, TypeScript)
  • AI/ML Model Integration (OpenAI, RAG Pipelines)
  • Database & Cloud Infrastructure (SQL, NoSQL, AWS, Docker)

Recent wins

  • Engineered and integrated a generative AI feature using the OpenAI API, which improved user content creation speed by 40%.
  • Led the back-end development for a new module in a B2B SaaS platform, processing over 100,000 requests per day with 99.9% uptime.
