Thuy-Vy Tran
CS + Econ @ Columbia University

My name is Thuy-Vy (Twee-Vee) Tran. I'm a Computer Science student at Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, with experience spanning from systems administration to frontend development.

I'm passionate about exploring backend architecture and AI/ML, and I'm always looking for opportunities to expand my technical horizons.

Outside of coding, you'll find me playing Minecraft (which inspired this site), practicing piano, or embracing my girly side.

I'm currently looking for a summer 2026 internship in software development or systems administration. Feel free to reach out to me at tvytran2@gmail.com or LinkedIn!
