Hi, I’m Khanh Vuong, a software and data engineer with 6+ years of experience building production-grade Python systems, scalable cloud data pipelines, and LLM-powered applications. I design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines that integrate large language models with research data workflows, and I’ve shipped full-stack TypeScript / Node.js / React services to thousands of daily active users. I’m comfortable across the modern AI engineering and data stack — Python, AWS, REST APIs, prompt engineering, retrieval, and evaluation. I’m a strong cross-functional communicator who translates ambiguous research and business requirements into concrete technical designs. I’m currently completing a Master of Data Science at Macquarie University, with hands-on experience delivering cloud-native architectures on AWS, optimizing ETL processes, and collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams.
