I run software company, but my own background is more about hardware, especially embedded systems.

I know the industrial markets in HCMC quite well. The parts you may use here as a student, hobbyist, or when developing a commercial prototype are a little different than say, North America.

I also have gone through the process of importing electronic components from overseas.

So if you’re a student or hobbyist in VN and trying to learn something, traveling here and want to buy some parts, or just curious where machines are born, ask away.

      Nominally, I do prototyping. Software / hardware. I’ve streamlined R&D a lot. I do a lot of fairly random stuff.

      Sometimes I can publish the stuff I do (e.g. what’s the point of doing prototyping if you can’t do the odd job for fun for yourself) – you can see some examples at voltage.vn

      For bigger software projects, or bringing prototypes to market, I’ve got a relationship with some outsourcing companies that I trust to do a good job. If the job involves some special algorithm or uncommon technology, I just go to their office and train them for a few days.

      A lot of my business is big companies trying to get spinoffs off the ground, but not wanting to commit the resources for in-house R&D.
