About me
Hi there, I'm Ho Duc Hieu 👋. I'm a junior majoring in Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University. I am interested in Open Source, Software Development and Engineering. I am also interested in trending technologies including Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain.

Besides coding, I am passionate about fostering and strengthening technology communities. I have taken part in various international and national technology initiatives, including Facebook Developer Circle: Hanoi, Developer Students Club by Google Developers, Microsoft Student Ambassadors, Global AI Community, SheCodesVietnam, GirlScriptIndia, and JunctionX. Through these initiatives, I strive to cultivate a robust technology community in order to help people acquire technical and career skills.
On the other hand, I am also very interested in international relations, economics, and policy. I have attended several global summits, including the Global Youth Leaders Summit 2019, Belt and Road Global Youth Leaders Summit 2019, Google Developer Student Club Lead Summit 2019, Asia-Pacific Youth Labor Trend Forum 2019, HPAIR Harvard Conference 2021 Embracing Change: Thriving in Innovation, ASEAN - Korea Economic Forum 2022, and The ROK-Mekong Youth Group Workshop 2022 as part of my efforts to take social responsibility and apply my knowledge in technology to transform the community and create an impact on our society.
