Perth, Western Australia · software engineer & ICT business analyst

I write the spec. Then I ship it.

I'm Vy Nguyen — a software engineer with a Master of Computer Science and an unusual second credential: the ECBA in business analysis. I build full-stack data products — FastAPI, React, PostgreSQL — from requirements I've elicited myself, verified by the test suites CI runs on every merge.

About

I sit where the business meets the build.

My route here runs through three countries: a computer science degree in Ho Chi Minh City, a cybersecurity diploma in Canada, and a Master of Computer Science at Edith Cowan University here in Perth. Along the way I noticed that projects rarely fail in the code — they fail in the gap between what the business meant and what the team heard.

So I made that gap my specialty — from both sides. At Spirited Thinking I turned a client's idea for an AI image-classification system into functional specs and test cases the delivery team built against. At FPT I automated SAP reporting in ABAP after sitting with the people who actually ran the reports. In 2026 I put a credential behind each half: the ECBA from the IIBA on top of my Master of Computer Science — then shipped a portfolio the way real teams ship, with requirements catalogues, sprint backlogs, test suites and CI.

That's the profile: an engineer who writes the requirements, and an analyst who ships the build. Developers get specs they don't have to translate; the business gets software it can trace back to what it actually asked for.

Now: completing an ACS Professional Year in IT · interviewing for Software Engineer and ICT Business Analyst roles in Perth · available now

Full-stack, end to end

FastAPI, React/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Docker, GitHub Actions — the WA Mining app runs the whole stack, with CI proving it on every merge.

Evidence over claims

Every skill on this site traces to an artefact you can open — an API, a test suite, a data dictionary, a backlog.

Requirements-literate

ECBA-certified. I elicit, document and test against requirements — so what ships matches what the business meant.

Three languages

English, Vietnamese and Japanese — useful in stakeholder rooms, invaluable in messy requirement conversations.

Featured work

Projects you can open, not just read about.

Every case study ships with its working artefacts — requirements catalogues, data dictionaries, SQL pipelines, backlogs and repos. Filter by the kind of work you're hiring for.
