About Me
Hello, I’m Minh Dao, a Software Engineer specializing in building scalable, user-centric full-stack solutions. With a core stack of TypeScript, Node.js, Python, React, and Next.js, coupled with extensive experience in AWS and GCP, I build robust systems that bridge the gap between complex backend logic and seamless frontend experiences. I am also passionate about leveraging AI to solve business challenges and drive productivity.
Currently, I’m working as a Software Engineer at SOK in Helsinki, Finland, where I contribute to one of the country’s largest EV charging and refueling platforms. My work involves designing and developing cloud infrastructure and core backend microservices that serve thousands of daily users. Before that, I led frontend development at Flowrite, helping to build innovative AI-powered writing tools with a focus on performance, accessibility, and user experience.
My professional journey reflects a broad range of experiences, from fast-paced startups, consultants to established corporate settings, allowing me to adapt and excel in diverse contexts. My work has spanned multiple business fields, including e-commerce, energy, retail, AI, and enterprise software, giving me a unique perspective on solving complex challenges across industries.
Outside of tech, I’m all about balance. You’ll often find me jogging through the city, exploring new cultures through travel, strumming my guitar, or crafting detailed miniatures by hand.
Let’s connect and create something amazing together!
