About Me
My name is Nam Truong, and I am a software engineer at JPMorganChase. I recently graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Finance.
I have been involved in the Association for Computing Machinery, having participated in its projects division and became a technical officer at HackUTD. During university summers, I taught computer science bootcamps and interned as a software engineer at State Farm and JPMorganChase.
Interests
When I'm not busy, I enjoy weight training, playing guitar and volleyball, hiking, and creating latte art.
Some music genres I like to listen to are folk, country, and the occasional white girl bangers.
