A User Guide To Working With Huong

Introduction

I write this user guide to help us (you and me) have a good collaboration at work. I hope you also share yours.

How I view success

We all feel passionate and happy at work.
We all enjoy discussing transparently.
We take it easy to give and receive feedback.
After all, we together develop and bring valuable applications to users.

How I communicate

I mostly prefer a face-to-face conversation.
Just leave me a message on Slack if you don't want to come to my desk.
For a big topic which takes more than 30 minutes, we should have a meeting.
Only send me emails only if stuff is very formal or out-of-office hours

Things I do that may annoy you

I do practice the Pomodoro technique so that sometimes you see me in the "do not disturb" mode.
Often to make things clear, I am at ease talking frankly with you.

What gains and loses my trust

It is easy to gain my trust when you commit to what you say. You show your passion and endeavors to achieve that.
It is easy to lose my trust when you don't focus on your work. You affirm what you haven’t experienced. For instance, you have never tested your implementation on the servers but you say you have done it.

My strengths

I know a good product is built by a well-collaborated team. I do care about teamwork.
My passion is to bring valuable products to users. I do care about both the technical and business of applications.
I motivate myself to expand my skill set every day to make better applications. I am a fast learner and my skills are wide.
I adopt the grit mindset. I believe I can solve most of the problems with my perseverance.

My growth areas

Development skills (Backend and Frontend)
- After graduation, I began building enterprise web applications using Java as a primary programming language. For most of the projects, I used the JSF framework and Axon.ivy platform. I had nearly 5 years of experience in this field.
- Currently, I am using JavaScript as my primary programming language. I enjoyed reading You Don’t Know JS.
- In my spare time, I am also learning Android to develop my side projects.
Operation skills (DevOps)
- I gained some fundamental knowledge about Computer Networks and Telecommunications such as operating systems, IP addresses, and security in the university as it is my major.
- I have been working with some tools: Jenkins, Docker, OpenShift, AWS.
Soft skills:
- I keep learning English for a good communication skill
- I work together, observe, and grow my teammates to enhance my leadership skill.
- I follow Buddhism (especially Zen/Thiền) as my philosophy. I believe everything in this world is connected. I no longer struggle to answer the kind of questions “Who am I? Why am I here?”. Some of my best friends are atheists, Protestants, and Catholics; we all feel happy when talking about our own beliefs.
Computer science
- Architectural design: from the level of code to systems.
- In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with some friends to take research and build side projects using facial technology (a field in Computer Vision).
- Cryptography is also my interest. Currently, I also spend some time to build a pet called FIDO2 Authenticator.

AngularJS - Build a custom validation directive for using multiple emails in textarea

AngularJS already supports the built-in validation with text input with type email. Something simple likes the following: <input name="input" ng-model="email.text" required="" type="email" /> <span class="error" ng-show="myForm.input.$error.email"> Not valid email!</span> However, I used a text area and I wanted to enter some email addresses that's saparated by a comma (,). I had a short research and it looked like AngualarJS has not supported this functionality so far. Therefore, I needed to build a custom directive that I could add my own validation functions. My validation was done only on client side, so I used the $validators object. Note that, there is the $asyncValidators object which handles asynchronous validation, such as making an $http request to the backend. This is just my implementation on my project. In order to understand that, I supposed you already had experiences with ...

A Template for Software Engineering Standards

Software engineering standard template A well-structured standard acts as a blueprint that guides engineers in their daily tasks and long-term goals. Below, I will outline a template for creating a comprehensive software engineering standard. Header The header serves as the document's identifier. It contains the following: Authors : The people who have contributed to the creation of the standard. Created Date : The date when the document was initially created. Version : The version of the standard. It is typically updated with significant changes. Status : The current status of the document, whether it's in draft, in-review, or official. Next Review Date : The date when the standard will be reviewed for relevancy and accuracy. Table of Contents A table of contents provides an overview of what the document contains, making it easier for readers to navigate through the document. Body The body of the standard comprises: Values : The core beliefs that guide the decision-maki...

Journal: This Month I Learned (2023-April)

I learned that it's important to take breaks and practice self-care to avoid burnout. It's also important to communicate with colleagues and managers about workload and prioritize tasks accordingly. Finally, getting hands-on experience with different aspects of the business can be valuable for personal and professional growth. OKRs review The results of the OKR review should not directly impact performance appraisals. Key Results should be straightforward measurements of Objectives, not just a to-do list. They should also be related to daily work, rather than separate topics. There are two ways to review objectives: "Completion" or "Rating". The status should be balanced among objectives and used to adapt to current efforts. Member reassignment How to find a good fit between business and personnel growth: Salary costs increase year by year. It doesn't make sense to increase customer billing year by year. Burnout counter: Engagement I engage to work close...

Make simple music program with beep(freq, duration) with Pascal

Pascal is my first programing language when I have studied in high school. It was really exciting for me. :) The Pascal programming language was created by Niklaus Wirth in 1970. It was named after Blaise Pascal, a famous French Mathematician. It was made as a language to teach programming and to be reliable and efficient. Pascal has since become more than just an academic language and is now used commercially . I tried to make a simple music program by using Lazarus IDE on MS Window 7, 64-bit. It frustrated me a few times how difficulty to use Sound command to make a sound. Sound did not work on my compiler and my platform anymore. So far, I just could use beep(freq, duration) from window unit to implement my work. Here is my code. ;) program mysong; uses Windows, crt; const C: Integer = 512; { x = A * EXP(LN(2)/12)} C_: Integer = 542; D: Integer = 574; D_: Integer = 608; E: Integer = 644; F: Integer = 682; F_: Integer = 723; G: Integer = ...
