About
I'm Do Hung Anh, a software engineer based in Vietnam. I design and operate the server-side systems behind payment and platform products — the kind that have to stay correct and fast while traffic, data, and the team all keep growing.
For the past few years I've been at One Mount Group (VinID Pay), building and running microservices that move real money: API design, data modelling, database tuning, asynchronous messaging, and the deployment and observability that keep everything healthy in production. What I enjoy most are the parts that never show up in a screenshot — consistency, latency, idempotency, failure modes, and the operational story behind a feature.
This site is where I write those lessons down in plain language, so the next engineer (often future me) doesn't have to relearn them the hard way.
How I work
- Correctness first, then speed. A system that's fast but occasionally wrong is just a slow system with extra steps.
- Design for failure. Timeouts, retries, idempotency, and back-pressure are features — not afterthoughts bolted on after the first incident.
- Measure before optimising. Profiles, traces, and metrics beat hunches; I change one thing at a time and let the numbers decide.
- Write it down. Clear docs and honest post-mortems compound over time; tribal knowledge doesn't.
