Khang Nguyen — Project Engineer & Full-Stack Builder
Enterprise SaaS, workflow automation, and AI-enabled tooling — built by an engineer who sits inside real operations.
Open to engineering roles — Atlanta or remote
No.02About PV19 · Quinacridone Rose
Pigment — the raw material.
I lead facility projects at UPS by day and build the software that runs operations by craft — from a self-hosted deployment platform to the bid analysis, reporting, and AI audit tools my teams use every week. Architecture to implementation, no hand-offs.
No.03What I build PB35 · PR122 · PY74
Three primaries. Everything else is mixed from these.
PB35 · Cerulean
Multi-tenant platforms with Docker isolation, webhook-driven zero-downtime deploys, RBAC and audit logs, encrypted secrets, and managed databases — APIs and event-driven pipelines designed to run unattended.
PR122 · Opera Rose
Practical LLM integration into real operational work — like auditing monthly financial reports against contracted scope — plus an AI-augmented development practice that compresses delivery time without cutting quality.
PY74 · Hansa Yellow
Purpose-built tools that replace spreadsheets and file churn: contractor bid analysis, weekly ops reporting, budget and RFA workflows — adopted by real teams because they remove work instead of adding it.
No.04Selected work Mixed media
Four finished paintings, all hanging in production.
One public platform, two internal tools running inside UPS workflows, and one AI audit pipeline — all in production.
Painting No.1PB29 + PB35
A self-hosted git-to-production PaaS: push to GitHub and NoiGate auto-detects the framework, builds an isolated container, wires routing and SSL — live in ~30 seconds. Zero-downtime swaps, PR previews, managed MySQL/Redis, encrypted secrets, a CLI, and multi-tenant RBAC with audit logs.
Painting No.2PY74 + PO73
Contractors return bids in Excel against project scope; Bid Recap normalizes them into a comparison dashboard — division-level cost, schedule, OHP, and alternates side by side. Automatic rankings with override, and governance built in: choosing anyone but the lowest bidder requires written justification.
Painting No.3PG7 + PY150
Replaced the weekly ritual of recreating report files in SharePoint with a persistent meeting system: one-click sync from last week so open items carry forward, live action rollups, templates for retros, 1:1s and planning, present mode, and Markdown/JSON export. Zero new files created since launch.
Painting No.4PV23 + PR122
An LLM pipeline that audits monthly financial reports against the contracted scope of work. It cross-references charges to scope and outputs a structured HTML findings report — what's wrong, exactly where, and insights on patterns — with a human on final approval.
No.05My approach PV23 · Dioxazine Violet
Glazing — thin layers that build depth without muddying.
Glaze 1 · Hansa Yellow
I don't guess at requirements — I live in them. Leading facility projects, budgets, and contractors at UPS means every tool I build starts from a workflow I've personally run. That's why they get adopted.
Glaze 2 · Opera Rose
LLM-assisted development is core practice, not a gimmick — faster iterations, broader test coverage, tighter reviews. It's how one engineer ships platform-scale software, and how I'd help a team raise its delivery bar.
Glaze 3 · Cerulean
A system isn't done when it ships — it's done when it's trusted. Uptime monitoring, audit trails, and metrics are built in from day one, so the people relying on the tool never have to wonder if it's working.
No.06How it works PG7 · Phthalo Green
Wet-on-wet — each step bleeds into the next.
Sit with the ops, product, and field teams doing the work. Map the real workflow — not the org-chart version.
Write it down RFC-style: APIs, event-driven where it pays, boring reliable tech everywhere else.
LLM-assisted development as a force multiplier — faster iterations, better coverage, tighter reviews.
Deploy on automated pipelines, watch the metrics, and iterate with the people using it.

Clean paper. Your color goes here.
A role, a project, or an operational problem worth solving. I'd love to hear what you have in mind.
