Hi, my name is

Ngọc Phát.

And I'm a data scientist (maybe)

and i use arch, btw.

About Me

I am a Computer Science undergraduate at University of Science, Vietnam National University HCM. i use arch btw, as suggested by my friend Ashpex about several years ago. My daily driver is a ThinkPad T14 (R5-4650U, 16GB).

I have a deep interest in computer science, especially the data world. Even though I think data science is fun, digging and planning business ideas from data is pretty tedious, so I’m more comfortable being an engineer. My long term goal is to work in an MLOps-related environment.

Watching anime and playing the guitar are what I often do when I’m not busy with tons of deadlines from my uni. I’m quite into 2.5D musical franchises, such as Love Live!, iDOLM@STER, BanG Dream!, etc. They are something very unique to the Japanese pop culture, in which my favourite character/seiyuu pair is Shibuya Kanon/Date Sayuri from Love Live!.

Besides Vietnamese and English, I can also speak Japanese. Although it’s quite limited, I can understand 60-70% of a typical SOL anime (such as Love Live! Superstar!!) with Japanese subtitles (because my choukai sucks). In the past I also made Viet subtitles for Love Live! PVs, but recently my tight schedule prevented me from further doing so.

Here are some technical tools that I am familiar with:
  • python, c++
  • hadoop, spark
  • airflow
  • scikit-learn
  • keras, pytorch, huggingface
  • pandas, numpy
  • matplotlib, seaborn
  • mongodb
  • express.js
  • django
