Hi. I'm Bao @bao_now Tran 馃槅
Short Bio
I'm a software engineer with more than 20 years of experience in a variety of computing domains. For the past few years, I've focused on highload server-side projects, IOT, software design, and platform development - tinkering with infrastructure, all things containers and Cloud Native.
While there isn't a Wikipedia page about me (sorry folks!), a media bio is available below.
