$Whoami

Thank you for stopping by my presentation and blog. My name is Hoang Nguyen. I am Vietnamese and immigrated to the United States in early 2020. Now, I am both a U.S and Vietnamese citizen.

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering at Kennesaw State University and am on the Double Owl Pathway to a Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. My journey in the U.S. began with working as a Mixer and Machinery Operator at Wayne Farms LLC. Realizing the importance of education, I enrolled in the Intensive English Program at KSU and later was accepted to KSU.

Over the past two years at KSU, I have maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA through hard work and dedication. My goal is to build my own system with custom firmware before graduation — a task I’ve imagined for a long time ago, which I never thought could become a reality.

Transferring from Vietnam to work in the U.S. and returning to school has equipped me with hard work, discipline, and determination. With these qualities, I believe anything is possible.

Projects

Engineering

Pi Zero with Sense HAT Projects: Developed a Pi Clock and Pi Thermometer using Python and the Raspberry Pi Zero with the Sense HAT to display real-time temperature, humidity, and pressure data. Integrated sensors for data collection and used the 8x8 LED matrix to display results. Gained insights into CPU memory processing and how data is retrieved from memory to update the display in real-time while learning about hardware control, sensor integration, and data processing.
TI Basic and eZ80 Assembly programs:- Developed custom programs for the TI-84+ CE calculator using TI Basic and eZ80 Assembly. Gained hands-on experience in low-level programming, optimizing memory usage, and coding for embedded systems- Developed graphing and equation-solving applications that run efficiently on limited-resource hardware.
Networking and Server Projects: Set up a Pi-hole ad blocker, PiFi router, and a private eBook server using Docker on a Mac Mini. Enhanced network security and privacy by blocking ads with Pi-hole and configuring a custom PiFi router. Gained practical experience in networking, server management, and Docker containerization.
