I’m Loc Tan Nguyen, a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 9+ years of experience specialized in building high-fidelity web applications and immersive 3D environments.

My recent highlights include architecting a 3D shed configurator using BabylonJS, engineering real-time mobility platforms like Liftango, and launching AI-driven social ecosystems like Butterflies. I have a proven ability to deliver massive ROI, such as orchestrating a legacy-to-React migration that boosted platform performance by 170% and redesigning enterprise UI systems for global leaders like Audi, Verizon, and Samsung.

Whether it’s managing granular state with RxJS/Jotai or developing geospatial mobile apps in React Native, my focus is on performance, accessibility, and clean, scalable code.

I'd love to discuss how I can bring this expertise to your team.

Thank you.

Loc Tan Nguyen
