I build systems
that stay useful.
I am Huỳnh Thanh Đan, a System Engineer at HSI - HPT. I design, deploy and optimize on-premises, cloud, container and automation platforms so systems remain reliable, observable and ready for handover.

01 PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
From architecture
to operations.
I work across the solution lifecycle: discovery, consulting, architecture design, POC, integration, testing and operational handover. My core scope includes Virtualization, Cloud, Containers and Automation.
Alongside technical delivery, I assess Azure/AWS environments, develop Scopes of Work, review presales documentation, support tender submissions and handle NOC Tier 2 duties for alert analysis, root-cause identification and incident resolution.
