About

I'm Lam Hoang. I build software that uses AI in production — agent systems, automation pipelines, full-stack products. Based in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I didn't study computer science. I studied international studies at Trinity College, did microbiology research, and spent most of my twenties in banking, crypto, and startups. In 2011 I went to rural Karnataka, India on a Davis Projects for Peace grant and helped install rainwater collection systems on schoolhouses where kids were drinking fluoride-contaminated water. That trip changed the trajectory of everything that came after.

In 2018 I designed a decentralized water marketplace called DRYP — IoT sensors verifying water quality, blockchain handling trust. The concept is now called DePIN. I was five years early and couldn't build it myself. So I went home and learned to code.

Since 2020 I've shipped 10+ production products — a RAG pipeline before RAG was a buzzword, real-time multiplayer systems, a Chrome extension for semantic retrieval, a 90k-line crypto news platform, a 67k-line SaaS, a chatbot that reached 100 users in two months, and an AI agent command center. Over 300,000 lines of code and 3,700+ commits across those projects.

I speak English, Vietnamese, and Mandarin. Before any of this I was a senior loan officer at US Bank and a business consultant. The range is the point — sales, finance, crypto, failed startups, technical execution, AI depth. It all compounds.

Right now I'm building a few things, writing about what I learn, and looking for the right team to work with.
