Hi, I’m Peter (Vietnamese name: Hưng). My pen name is Peter Hưng.
I’m an avid learner and reader.
The area that I’m most passionate about is education (in the sense of drawing out the best in people).
As a person with experience in tech, my approach to education has been about using technology to make (high-quality) education more accessible. (People often say this is “edtech”, but a more accurate term is probably tech-enabled education).
As I know a bit of here and there, I’m especially fond of making connections among ideas that come from different fields.
Background
I obtained my Bachelor degree in Computer science from School of Computing, National University of Singapore in 2009, with a minor in Maths.
Recent work
Below are some education apps that I’ve contributed to:
- Luyện thi PRO, a mobile app to help K12 students preparing for the English entrance exam in Vietnam. It’s currently completely free. (2020)
- Tiếng Anh Mỗi Ngày, a Saas Web & app for learning English online, and also preparing for the Toeic test. (2016)
- LeeRit, an Saas for learning English vocabulary, for Vietnamese. (2013)
