Hello, I'm
Cong Dinh
Senior DevOps Engineer | Cloud Architect | Technology Trainer
With over 8 years of software development experience, 7 years in IT training, and deep expertise in Cloud & DevOps, I help businesses build modern systems, optimize CI/CD processes, and train strong technical teams.

My Story
My technology journey began in 2016 as a Full-stack Developer - completely self-taught through online platforms like Udacity, Coursera, and Pluralsight. Rather than following the traditional path, I believe in the power of continuous learning and learning by doing. Over 8 years, I specialized in Cloud Architecture and DevOps Engineering, becoming an Expert DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience on AWS and Azure. I'm proficient in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), CI/CD pipelines, and container orchestration with Kubernetes.
Alongside technical work, I've dedicated 7 years to IT human resource training, earning recognition as a Top Contributor for Training at FPT Software for 4 consecutive years (2021-2024). I'm proud to be among the Top 135 Influential Instructors within FPT Corporation. With a portfolio of 10 Udacity Nanodegrees in Cloud Architecture, DevOps, and Data Engineering across both AWS and Azure platforms - all self-learned and completed - I bring practical knowledge from the world's leading cloud platforms.
My strength lies in combining deep technical expertise with effective teaching skills. As a self-taught engineer, I understand the challenges of learning new technologies and how to overcome them. I not only help businesses build modern infrastructure and automate CI/CD processes, but also mentor teams with the mindset that 'anyone can learn anything with the right approach'. With over 3 years of Data Engineering experience (On-Premises/AWS/Azure), I also support building data pipelines and analytics platforms.
