TRẦN QUANG NHẬT

I am Trần Quang Nhật, a Product Engineer, born and raised in Ho Chi Minh City. Exposed to computers from an early age, I always wanted to build something of my own. At 11, I first learned about programming because I wanted to make my own video game. C++ was the first language I learned.

In 2021, I started my career as a Full Stack Developer at HASY Technology Joint Stock Company, working directly with the creative director. I built a prototype of an IoT device to help doctors examine patients remotely, using BananaPi, Raspberry Pi and external medical peripherals. The initial requirements were vague: the project lead was not deep in technology, so I had to clarify the problem myself, manage scope and timeline, and decide which features fit the prototype's goals. That became the foundation of how I work: take an unclear problem, define it, break the scope down, and ship.

Before that, from 2018 to 2021, I worked as a freelancer for clients including Leed Door, Mơ Home and Hakinet. After HASY (2021–2024), I worked as a Full Stack Developer at Tiên Phong CDS Joint Stock Company (2024–2025), then as Technical Lead at Jemmia Joint Stock Company (2025–2026).

Sightsea is the project I am most proud of. I personally built the core parts, led the team, balanced budget and scope, and took the product from MVP to a full release. The work helped raise $620,000 across Pre-Seed and Seed Round 1.

In 2025, I founded Paily, a payment and travel app in the Da Nang market.

To me, a Product Engineer focuses on the product: creating real value for end users and business impact for the company, regardless of framework, language or database. When I receive a problem, I start from the business goal and the customer's expectations of product value, then propose how to build it.

I believe every problem has a solution, and there is no “impossible” in my dictionary. I prioritize fail fast and shipping as quickly as possible to test the product with the market.

Over the next three years, I aim to build products that create real value and impact for the Vietnamese market, and bring Vietnamese culture into every product I build.
