from VNU-HCM High School for the Gifted, Ho Chi Minh City

Greetings! I’ m Anh Khoa, a high schoolstudent in
Vietnam. I find joy in “debugging” life challenges. My
interestsinvolves Computer Science, Computer
Engineering, and Information Technology. I’ m keen to
pursue a careerin Tech! I’ m an ambivert who values
experiences. Sometimes, I commited hoursto a task to
finish it orsimply because I enjoy it. Sometimes, I
preferto sit back to “ chill” and immerse myself in
music. You can call me a “ nerd” , but that’ s not true
because beside studying, I also love going outdoors
and seek to “ write a betterscript” forthe world!!

STEM High School Intern (Data Analyst) - Among the 7 high school students chosen in more than 400 applicants

My Customer Relationship Management
Team members, who followed me and
assisted with their knowledge

I was tasked with
automating the
data cleansing
process and
visualizing data
using PowerBI.

I had to
accustom to
new coding
languages (SQL,
PowerBI DAX)
to deal with
real data

Visualizing the
data is not easy,
but I’ve made it
after a week of
“wrestling” with
PowerBI

We finally earned our certificates after a month facing with challenges
and also rewards. So proud of my first time making money!

Everyone always thoroughly
explains the work processes to me

Exploring the IoT control cabinet for
smart homes, which controls
household devices remotely

I discovered the potential of IoT,
because it unlocks powers in smart
system integration and control.

Intern at Mesh Home Technology JSC

I joined a team to assemble 2 smart control cabinets, products of Mesh Home that are used for remote home
control. I also accompanied the team to install these cabinets at an apartment and an office. I found my task
challenging but also fascinating, and it felt so strange to wear these protective gears!

This campus tour made me more excited about studying computer science in college,
which is very different from a high school student’s experiences

Learn about the work of
cybersecurity students

“Short Trip” to Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology - 2024

Visiting the modern software &
AI research and development lab

Faculty of Computer
Science and Engineering

AIoT smart control cabinet

My honor to converse
with Dr. Le Trong
Nhan, Information
Technology &
Electrical Electronics
Engineering. He
shared with me about
AI and Comp
Engineering
applications

AI camera developed by students

UNIVA provides products like
Speech-to-Text and Optical
Character Recognition. I had the
chance to demo their products
and discuss their vision in AI

This was an exhibition on
information technology with cutting-
edge applications. It gave me exciting
ideas in the computer industry

Visited Vietnam ICTCOMM tech exhibition - summer 2024

I peer-reviewed papers in
fields of Economics and
Formal Science. I also
compiled submitted papers
into an open journal - the
first one of our school

2023 - 2024

InitiaRe acts as a bridge
between students and experts
and promotes scientific
literacy. To achieve this, I
created a free online research
archive with materials, guides,
and quizzes on Edpuzzle

Co-founder/Vice-Director of Review Board/Leader of Economics

We have a subsidiary called IniCommunity which
supports children in orphanages through fundraising

I coauthored a research proposal. This has
sparked me interests in Data and Business

See our work here!

My team having memorable moments
together after the event

The event lasted 5 hours, but it took me a
whole day for the setting-up and made me
exhausted when coming home at 11p.m.

TEDxYouth@PTNK - Organizing Committee

2023 - 2024

First TED event in Vietnam held by high school students to spark
conversation and connection, attracting nearly 200 attendees

We had to prepare for tea break
(which I was in charge of), sponsor
contacts, venue, and proposals.
Therefore, the success was a big
effort by the organizing committee.

Transporting cups and drink containers to the
venue was a headache. Luckily, I could deal with it

This is cream puff, so yummy! I had to contact nearly 10
suppliers to find the one with the best quality and price

I led translation team and managed expenditures. In offline events, we design games to stimulate
creativity, thereby providing a space for learning and play for nearly 100 young children.

Head of Translation/Finance & ER Core Team, 2022 - 2024

An online project that receives about 22k followers on Facebook. We post
scientific contents in various fields to spread useful, accessible knowledge online

It’s heartwarming
to see their happy
faces when
receiving the food

I was on the left with the white mask!!

We used ticket sales
to provide free food
for poor people in
the streets of Ho
Chi Minh City

Winning over other classes always brings triumph

As a defender, every of my pass must be accurate

Captain of Class Team

2022 - 2024

In Vietnam, we often play 5-a-side soccer (or
futsal). Although not exceptional, I always
feel the passion burning me every time I play

What a feeling to
engage in school
competitions!

When I brought the team’s new kit to
class, we tried to make it professional,
like a superstar signing a new contract

The futsal pitch
is indoors, so
every touch
creates echoing
sounds, which
make me
nervous
sometimes

Pre-match procedures

April 2024

My disapointment due to
an off-target attempt

Got that “rizz” and received
the focus of the audience

At school’s festival -
first time on a big stage.

ADDICTORS Band - Vocalist

2022 - 2024

“Mot dem say” - or “Intoxicated night” - by Thinh Suy, is a song frequently
played in coffee shops in Vietnam. A drunk boy confesses to a girl, urging her
to "come close and kiss me."
