Information Systems Undergraduate
Four years of Information Systems — ERP and database coursework that led directly to SAP, deep-learning research that led to an international publication, and a Youth Union secretary role reaching 1,500+ students.
Responsibilities
- Theoretical and practical grounding in enterprise resource planning and databases.
- Scientific research on image classification using deep learning, published in the Journal of Information Hiding and Multimedia Signal Processing (JIHMSP).
- Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, Faculty of Information Systems — organized university-level programs, workshops and events engaging over 1,500 students.
- Awarded the "Student with 5 Good Criteria" title at university level in 2021 and 2022.
Choosing Information Systems
Information Systems at UIT sits between computer science and business. You learn to program, but every subject keeps asking what the program is for. That framing is the reason I ended up in ERP rather than pure software engineering.
The subjects that turned out to matter most:
- Enterprise Resource Planning — the course where I first saw SAP. Document flow, organizational structures, why a goods receipt posts the accounting entries it does. Everything I do professionally is downstream of this class.
- Databases — relational modelling and SQL, which became T-SQL, PL/SQL and Open SQL at work.
- Object-Oriented Programming / Java — where ABAP OO later felt familiar instead of foreign.
Research
My final-year research was image classification for skin disease diagnosis, using a concatenation-features approach. It became a published paper in JIHMSP in 2025.
It is the furthest thing from SAP that I have worked on, and I keep it on this portfolio deliberately. Research taught me to hold a hypothesis loosely, to measure instead of assume, and to write down a method precisely enough that someone else can reproduce it — habits that transfer directly to debugging a production system.
Leadership
As Secretary of the Youth Union for the Faculty of Information Systems, I organized programs, workshops and events reaching more than 1,500 students. Budgets, volunteer coordination, venues, and the recurring lesson that a plan is only as good as the person you assigned each step to.
This is where I learned to run a team, three years before I was asked to lead one at work.

Happy to walk through the technical decisions in a conversation.
