Vu Nguyen

I'm a Director of Engineering with 15+ years of experience building scalable platforms, transforming legacy systems, and leading high-performance engineering teams across Southeast Asia. My background spans edtech, e-commerce, and gaming — where I’ve consistently delivered results through strong technical architecture, cloud optimization, and team agility. At Clevai, I re-architected a legacy education platform into a microservices-based system serving 20,000+ students, cut cloud costs by 90%, and restructured a 40-person engineering team into high-velocity squads. Previously at ShopBack, I led the development of a commission system integrated with 400+ partners across 10 countries, scaling backend infrastructure to support 900M+ monthly requests with zero downtime. I’m passionate about solving complex problems through system design, cross-functional collaboration, and AI-driven innovation — including integrating LLMs like GPT-4o and Gemini 2.5 into real-world products. I enjoy mentoring engineering leaders and aligning tech strategy with business outcomes.
