My name is Giang Pham and I am a Software Developer currently based in Newcastle, Australia. I graduated from the University of Newcastle with a Bachelor in Computing . Software Development has always been my primary focus and inspiration since I was 17. During my study at university I had the opportunity to expose my knowledge, I coded in a variety of languages including Matlab, Java, C, Python, and explored a wide range of computer science courses (data structures and algorithms, networking, database systems, operating systems and so on).  When I was in the last year of study, one of the final projects I developed was in the .NET platform, and since then I started coding mostly in C# and the .Net. As a developer, searching for new ways of doing things is something I enjoy doing everyday . I am working for an IT company in Newcastle, my day-to-day duties are:

  • Write code in C# and .NET/.NET Core conforming with object oriented design principles.
  • Participate in full-stack development including Angular/Kendo, ASP.NET core API.
  • Bring together component subsystems into a whole and ensure that those subsystems function together. Microsoft Azure services are being used frequently to make this possible.
  • Build integration systems that connect on-prem to online (Azure). Service Bus queues/topics, Kafka, Akka.Net are being used for messaging and distributed computing.
  • Migrate applications and their data from on-prem to online using SSIS and migration tools.
  • Set up & monitor orchestrated environments using Kubernetes to allow CI/CD in Azure DevOps, ELK (ElasticSearch, Logstash & Kibana) for nodes’ metrics and containers’ logs.
  • Develop & Dockerize applications in conjunction with Kubernetes, Azure DevOps pipelines and GitFlow to enable automation and recovery when required.
  • Infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible, when dealing with Azure resources.
  • Ensure all code are fully tested prior to deployment. XUnit2 and FluentAssetions are being used for Unit Tests and Selenium for the UI Tests.
  • Practice TDD, BDD in writing unit tests.
  • Practice design patterns in writing C# code
  • Create system documentation to support both technical staff and end users.
  • Troubleshoot and enhance existing systems.
  • Interact directly with other developers and development manager.

I decided to create this site for various reasons. I believe sharing the knowledge I have is as important as learning something new. If you have any questions, please shoot me message from the contact page. Also, I can be reached via the Twitter or GitHub links located on the right side of this page.
