About Me

Hello! I'm Anh Kent, a passionate Full Stack Developer with a strong foundation in computer science and a talent for building efficient, scalable applications. My journey in technology is driven by a commitment to continuous learning, innovation, and contributing to impactful projects. Having an Agile mindset, I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy taking on new challenges that help me grow both personally and professionally.

/ Core Values

$

Clean Code: Writing readable, maintainable code is not just a habit — it's a craft. I believe that clean code is the foundation of every great software project.

$

Continuous Learning: Technology never stops evolving, and neither do I. I actively seek out new tools, patterns, and ideas to sharpen my skills and stay ahead of the curve.

$

Collaboration: The best solutions are built together. I value open communication, constructive feedback, and a team-first mindset in every project I contribute to.

August 2023 – Present
  • Building an AI avatar chatbot — an interactive assistant with an avatar persona, backed by an LLM. Users can speak to the avatar and it responds accordingly with in-persona voice replies.
  • Integrated the chatbot into an existing production web application, fitting its architecture and UX without disrupting current users.
  • Integrating AI models to drive the avatar's domain-specific, in-persona responses.
  • Set up error monitoring with Datadog to catch and diagnose production issues early.
  • Built performance tests with Artillery and Playwright, plus end-to-end test suites with Playwright.

  • Building an offline-first Progressive Web App that stays fully usable on unreliable networks through service worker caching and background sync.
  • Designed and implemented a sync engine using a Last Write Wins conflict resolution strategy to reconcile concurrent offline and online updates across devices.
  • Implemented queued writes that replay automatically on reconnect, with rate limiting and exponential backoff for fault-tolerant sync.
  • Implemented a CQRS backend, separating the command and query paths so offline write replays and reads scale independently.

  • Fine-tuned open-source Small Language Models using Japanese domain-specific data for specialized tasks, terminology, and response styles.
  • Applied LoRA/QLoRA (Quantized/Low-Rank Adaptation) parameter-efficient fine-tuning to reduce GPU memory and training costs while preserving model quality.
  • Implemented LLM guardrails for input validation, prompt filtering, sensitive-information protection, harmful-content detection, and structured output enforcement.
  • Built end-to-end workflows for model training, evaluation, deployment, and integration with existing infrastructure.
  • Delivered a working PoC based on a fine-tuned open-source model with integrated guardrails.

  • Built an AI chatbot that streams responses in real time over Server-Sent Events (SSE).
  • Built a custom AI Agent feature — agent logic implemented in-house, invoking Claude and GPT models through the AWS Bedrock SDK — enabling multi-step task handling beyond plain Q&A.
  • Persisted conversation history in MongoDB so the chatbot keeps context across sessions.
  • Created a scheduling feature so the assistant can plan and trigger tasks at set times.
  • Built a dedicated file-encoding microservice within the system's microservices architecture.

  • Built a web-based admin app for monitoring and controlling video recording data feeds.
  • Automated video retrieval and processing with serverless pipelines — AWS Lambda functions triggered on EventBridge schedules.
  • Used Amazon SQS for fault-tolerant transport, sustaining a throughput of nearly 50GB of video daily.

  • Designed a scalable CI/CD pipeline on AWS CodeBuild, improving deployment reliability and cutting build times.
  • Migrated 100+ workflows from Jenkins to GitHub Actions for faster iteration and easier maintenance.

  • Built an app for managing protected-area data, combining interactive maps with charts for statistical analysis.
  • Worked directly with stakeholders to align the product with project objectives and user requirements.
