[edit] About me
My parents immigrated to the United States in the 1970s, due to the Vietnam War.
I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana (near the Vietnamese-American community of Versailles). Now I live in Loveland, Ohio. I graduated from St. Xavier High School, which belongs to the Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus. I now attend Stanford University in California, where I will probably study computer science. [1]
[edit] Software
I browse and edit Wikipedia using Mozilla Firefox, and I invite you to do the same, since its simple tabbed browsing really makes it easy. To type out text in Vietnamese, I use a home-brewed text editor / IME that I created in XUL.

[edit] Language
I can speak English fluently, and I am learning Vietnamese from my parents, and from my participation at the Vietnamese Wikipedia. In addition, I completed four years of courses in Spanish, culminating in an AP test in May. I intend to continue studying Spanish in college.
Since the eighth grade, I’ve taken in interest in phonetics, particularly in the International Phonetic Alphabet. I use my proficient knowledge in the alphabet at Wiktionary.
[edit] Contributions
My first contribution to Wikipedia was a minor, anonymous edit at United States presidential line of succession, which has since been disproven.
Most of my contributions occur at the Vietnamese Wikipedia, where I’m an administrator and bureaucrat, and here, where I regularly help maintain several pages, including:
- Wikimedia News and its Vietnamese translation, Tin tức về Wikimedia
- Goings-on and Thời sự
- Trang Chính, the Vietnamese equivalent of the Main Page
- Www.wikipedia.org template/temp, where I provide suggestions for changes to the main Wikipedia portal
