🚀
I’m Tony Nguyen Le, an aspiring developer passionate about data technology.
As a third-year IT and Information Systems student at the University of Agder, I’ve spent the last 3 years learning various technologies and understanding the importance of digitalization in a future society.
Here’s a glimpse into my journey as a student!
- Met leaders from the student union NITO and participated in teambuilding activities at Quality Hotel EXPO in Fornebu, Oslo (2024).
I'm working as a software developer at Easy Eiendom AS, where I focus on fullstack development to make real estate data more accessible across Norway. This opportunity grew from my successful summer internship with the company.
What I'm doing now:
I work on both frontend and backend development in a collaborative team environment. We're building innovative solutions that make complex real estate data easy to understand and use for both everyday consumers and industry professionals.
How it all started:
While working on my bachelor's degree, one of the founders, CFO found my project on LinkedIn and saw it was highly relevant to their work. That connection quickly led to an internship opportunity at Easy Eiendom. I jumped in, tackling design solutions, API integrations, and exploring AI enhancements for the platform. The fast-paced PropTech environment was a fantastic learning experience and set the stage for my current role.
Easy Eiendom AS is revolutionizing how Norwegians access real estate information. We're breaking down barriers between complex property data and user-friendly experiences, making real estate insights available to everyone - whether you're buying your first home or you're a seasoned industry professional.
Technologies & Skills:
I am very enthusiastic about learning new technologies. Many people have said that I look the happiest when I discover new ways to build things, and that truly makes me happy. This is the work I genuinely enjoy, and I could spend hours in an IDE without noticing the time passing by. While I haven't learned everything yet, I am a fast learner in the right environment, and I am grateful for the opportunity to intern and learn even more. 😊
For my bachelor's thesis, in collaboration with Kartverket and Kristiansand Kommune, I developed GeoGPT, an AI chatbot capable of processing thousands of datasets from Geonorge.no and interacting with maps. The application integrates language models and vector databases to improve geospatial data retrieval, ensuring precision and accessibility for users of all expertise levels. Our MVP has been successfully deployed for beta testing, showcasing the potential of AI in advancing geospatial information systems.
Skills Learned:
This system is designed for booking rooms at a small motel with a total of 25 rooms. The motel must have at least three different room types, such as single rooms, double rooms, and junior suites. Each room type must have a limit on the number of occupants (adults and children). This project requires an understanding of variables, functions, arrays, and other fundamental PHP concepts, as well as user interface design.
Users must be able to register as either guests or administrators. An administrator should be able to name and describe rooms and room types, as well as make certain rooms unavailable for specific periods. A guest should be able to search for check-in and check-out dates and specify the number of adults and children staying. For a more advanced system, guests can enter preferences for whether the room should be on a higher or lower floor or near an elevator. Additionally, a loyalty program can be implemented, allowing guests to view their stay history, retrieve receipts, and save preferences.
The project requires careful consideration of what guests (both frequent and occasional) and motel owners would appreciate in such a system. Prioritizing these features and implementing as many as possible through good programming practices is essential.
Skills Learned:
This year marks the beginning of an exciting chapter in my career journey as I start my internship at Swipload Technologies AS. Being one of the few students selected to join their innovative team is both an honor and a thrilling opportunity.
