Hello, I'm Hieu.

I'm a developer working on

AI products & agents.

Based in San Diego, California

Field of Work

I build fast and build right. Over 3 years at startups, I have taken AI products, data pipelines, and fullstack apps from zero to production, serving hundreds of users. I pick up new tools quickly, write code that scales, and care about the craft. If something needs to get built and it needs to be good, I will make it happen.

CheckRx

Founding Software Engineer Mar 2024 - Present · San Diego, CA

CheckRx is a Medicare intelligence platform I helped build from scratch as a founding engineer. We started with data pipelines and APIs, then layered on agent tools, a CRM, a voice AI assistant, and a senior-facing conversational product. The team is 5 people (3 engineers), the platform serves 500+ insurance agents, and we handle 50,000+ daily queries. Everything runs on a shared data layer: normalized CMS data, RAG pipelines, and provider/plan APIs that every product consumes.
