WELCOME TO MY PORTFOLIO

Thinh Long Hua is
studying

Hi, my name is Thinh (Oscar) Hua, and I’ve been passionate about technology and design since I was 13, when I competed in the Robotacon WRO competition back in Vietnam. That experience sparked my curiosity in programming, which has since grown into a love for building websites, creating digital experiences, and solving real-world problems with code and design.

I work with tools like HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Photoshop, and Canva to create work that’s both functional and visually engaging.

I began my academic journey in Toronto, Canada, where I developed my English and learned how to thrive in a diverse, multicultural environment. I’m currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science and UX/UI, continuing to grow both my technical and creative skillsets.

I’m currently working as a Retail Sales Representative at T-Mobile, where I help customers find the right tech solutions. This role has sharpened my communication and problem-solving skills while keeping me connected to the latest in consumer technology.

Previously, I worked at LA Fitness, where I developed strong customer service skills, and I also supported new international students as an Orientation Assistant, helping them transition into college life.

I’m fluent in English and Vietnamese, a quick learner, and someone who enjoys turning ideas into meaningful user experiences through both design and code.
