My name is Thien Nguyen and this is my website. Homepage? Do people still call it that post 2000?

In my day job I'm a software developer working in medical informatics for MAVERIC. I'm paid to use natural language processing, machine learning, and data visualizations to help researchers improve health care. Pretty cool. I'm also interested in how to build open, extensible platforms that enable other people to do cool work and solve problems in their own niche.
