Mechanical design
From a working conveyor to mechanical design.
I received a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (Đại học Bách Khoa Tp.HCM). For my bachelor’s thesis, written in Vietnamese, I designed and built a working model pipe conveyor.
After graduating, I worked in mechanical design in Ho Chi Minh City for about a year. I specialized in injection molds for plastic components and also developed humanoid robot leg mechanisms.
The path was not straightforward: it took me five years to complete the degree, after failing several courses during my third and fourth years. Finishing it taught me persistence.
