About

...Me

Hello world!

Welcome to my little corner on the vast, vast Internet! Glad you stopped by.

My name is Son A. Pham, aka Sonny Pham. I’m currently a Software Engineer at Google, in Mountain View Sunnyvale, California. I started in 2016 and am currently working on internal infrastructure and tooling for products within Google Apps.

Before that I went to University of Texas at Dallas (woosh), earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science. During the time there I also interned at Compumatrice, Intuit and AT&T, doing Android development, infrastructure/tools and big data, respectively.

I like building things with code, all kinds of music, electric guitars, cars (JDM FTW), fixed gear bikes, video games, asian food, chipotle, etc.

Within the technology space, I’m interested in open source, machine learning and AI, distributed cloud computing, web development, UI/UX design, cryptocurrencies and entrepreneurship.

For comments or questions, feel free to send them my way using any of the external links in the menu, or via email to sp#thisdomain.me!

...The Site

This site serves as my personal homepage, portfolio and technology-focused blog/ramblings (though admittedly I’m not too good at writing anything except for maybe some code).

It is developed using Jekyll, Pug (formerly Jade), Font Awesome, Sass, and hosted with GitHub Pages. Did I mention the source code is available on GitHub?

Before this site I developed two other iterations (one totally from scratch without using any frameworks and one with bloated frameworks and hero images), only to be deprecated a couple of months later.

By the way, I also have an Atom feed (think RSS) setup for the site (http://sonpham.me/feed.xml), so why don’t you add it to your favorite news reader and receive my latest posts? 😉
