Hello! 👋 I'm Dylan Nguyen

Welcome to my portfolio! I'm a Computer Science and Data Science student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems.

About Me

I’m a problem solver, hacker, and tech enthusiast, always striving to learn and create. My journey started in 2021 when I wrote my first line of code. Since then, I’ve dived into full-stack development, AI/ML, cloud computing, and blockchain technologies, with a strong focus on scalable infrastructure and MLOps.

🎯 Currently Focused On:

  • Automating MLOps workflows for deployment, monitoring, and scaling AI systems
  • Exploring Network Security, Agentic AI, and Computer Vision through self-study
  • Automating processes and solving complex problems in my personal projects

💡 Fun Facts:

  • 🏆 6 hackathon wins, including Second Place at One Trillion Agents hackathon, Best Agent Overall at Sonic DeFAI hackathon.
  • ☁️ Hands-on with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes) and MLOps stacks (MLflow, Kubeflow, KServe, Prometheus, Grafana).
  • 🤖 When I'm not coding, I attend tech conference, or experiment with the latest AI models.
  • 🌐 I'm passionate about making a positive social impact through technology.

🏆 Achievements:

  • 2nd Place at One Trillion Agents Hackathon
  • Honorable Mention Best Agents Overall at Sonic DEFAI Hackathon
  • 2nd PLace at Degen Track at SUI Overflow Hackathon
