Nguyen Tan Hiep · 3+ years shipping production software

I build scalable, high-performance web applications with Next.js, React, and Node.js — taking projects from architecture and implementation through deployment and operation. Currently open to full-time and contract roles.

Profile · Approach

The interface is the visible edge of a working system.

Nguyen Tan Hiep builds front-end systems with enough back-end and operations fluency to keep the whole product honest: typed surfaces, measured performance, and deploy paths that can be observed, reversed, and kept low-cost.

Not a skin over the product — its operating surface.
VECTOR.0101

Product grammar

Ambiguous flows are reduced into explicit states, typed contracts, and interfaces that stay readable under change.

VECTOR.0202

Interface speed

Performance, accessibility, and responsive behavior are treated as design constraints before visual polish begins.

VECTOR.0303

Production ownership

The work carries through data modeling, deployment, observability, rollback paths, and the cost of keeping systems online.

Doctrine ledger

Four constraints that keep the work precise after the first launch.

  1. 001Measure the product surface before refining it.
  2. 002Keep deployments boring, reversible, and observable.
  3. 003Design schemas around real query patterns.
  4. 004Let components hold product memory, not just markup.
02Skills

Full-stack coverage, front-end depth.

A working stack across client applications, backend services, and the infrastructure that runs them.
