Hi, I’m Thinh 'Ted' Nguyen

I am a

I'm interested in improving human's quality of life using technology and design. Graduating BSc at the VNUHCM University of Science (Vietnam) in 2015, I started a Master's program at Simon Fraser University (Canada) in 2016 and became a member of the iSPACE Research Lab, where I used Virtual Reality for fundamental research and applied fundamental research for improving Virtual Reality. In 2019, I relocated to the US and joined Microsoft as a Software Engineer, earning experience in building products that serve millions daily active users.
