About

Hey, I'm Namanh – 21, studying Computer Science at TUHH, and at heart just someone who can't stop building things.

It started with hardware, not code: as a kid I took apart my parents' PCs to see how they worked and put them back together – not always in the right order, and not always still booting. Curiosity first, consequences later has been a bit of a theme.

At 13, 14 I found I had a feel for social media – I grew a few Instagram accounts past 10k, one past 60k, and rode the early TikTok wave into my first real income through the Creator Program (today that's 50k+ followers and 20M+ views). It turned into a small business of buying, growing and flipping accounts; the money was never really the point, reverse-engineering what makes attention move was.

Around 16, 17 I got a little too good at finding gaps in big companies' systems. I'll keep the specifics vague – let's just say I learned early how much of the world quietly runs on assumptions nobody checks. These days that instinct goes into building things, not breaking them.

Programming came late, at 17, and I only got serious at 19 once I started my degree – haven't been able to put it down since. Code, for me, isn't an engineering chore, it's the fastest medium I've found to get an idea out of my head and into something real. I work AI-native by default: too many tabs open, half my life wired up with AI agents, and a compulsion to try every new agent harness the week it drops.

These days I build as a Product Engineer at Arbio, and I've won five hackathons along the way – mostly for the rush of shipping under pressure. What keeps me going is the creative side of it: taking a random idea and making it real, and figuring out how to fuse building, content and community into one thing.

Outside the screen, I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid and have basically documented my whole life. Lately I've been pointing it outward instead of inward – making personal content about tech, AI and startups, and building a real community around it – already 250+ members.

There's music, too. I didn't want to just play alone in my room, so out of sheer boredom I started a band at uni – which somehow turned into us actually playing university events. A lot of what I do starts like that: a small itch, a 'why not', and then it snowballs.
