I'm Minh, a backend developer who likes understanding how the pieces fit together: the API, the database, the infrastructure, and the tools that make building them feel good.

My current playground spans backend development, developer tooling, and AI-assisted coding workflows. I build things to use them—and sometimes rebuild them to understand them.

EXPLORE   System design · solution architecture · gamification

Less setup friction. More time building.

A modular development workstation setup for macOS and Ubuntu / WSL2, with a bootstrap entry point, focused installers, and a doctor command that checks the implemented setup domains.

• Tools that work together. Homebrew + mise, common CLI tools, and Codex / Claude Code installation.
• A shell that feels like home. Native Zsh on macOS, Bash on Ubuntu / WSL2, with Starship and zoxide.
• The everyday essentials. Git configuration and Docker tooling through OrbStack or native Docker Engine.
• Check before changing. Reuse working tools, preserve configuration backups, and verify the result.

_{Implemented: tools, shell, Git, Docker, and doctor checks. Workspace organization is planned.}

“Don't reinvent the wheel, unless you plan on learning more about wheels.”
