Hello, World
I craft tools that empower, build systems that scale, and inspire the next generation to dream bigger.

About Me
Triet Phan
AI Enthusiast · Chicago, IL
I believe technology should empower people to pursue their dreams. From shipping marketplace apps used by hundreds at Airbnb, to architecting AI agent swarms that autonomously write, review, and deploy code, I thrive at the intersection of creativity and engineering.
When I'm not coding, I'm tutoring the next generation of developers and helping people discover the power of building with code.
