Question 1

Who is Han Kim Thuy?

Accepted Answer

This is the portfolio of Han Kim Thuy (Hàn Kim Thủy). I am a UX Software Engineer based in Vietnam. You can reach me at thuyhankim@gmail.com, on GitHub (hankimthuy), LinkedIn (thuyhankim), or at https://hankimthuy.com.

Question 2

Are you available for freelance UX Software Engineer work?

Accepted Answer

Yes—outside my full-time role I take scoped freelance work remotely, with clients in Vietnam and worldwide (I work from GMT+7). Typical engagements include UX-oriented development, product discovery, and helping small teams ship user-focused products. Message me on LinkedIn with the problem, audience, and timeline—or email if you prefer.

Question 3

What drives you to build products?

Accepted Answer

I'm driven by empathy. For me, a product is simply a solution to a real human problem. My motivation comes from seeing something I've built actually reduce someone's frustration, save them time, or (like in my MimoSe project) help them understand themselves better.

Question 4

Why do you focus on UX-Oriented Development?

Accepted Answer

As a UX Software Engineer, I sit at the intersection of design and code. Focusing on UX is central to how I build—not an afterthought. I believe a 'feature' isn't 'done' when the code is merged; it's 'done' when the user can achieve their goal effortlessly. This mindset is the foundation of my product-focused approach.

Question 5

Are you pursuing Product Owner roles?

Accepted Answer

Yes—Product Owner is a career path I'm actively building toward. Today I focus on UX Software Engineer work at the design–code intersection; over time I want to own discovery, prioritization, and outcomes end to end. My Scrum background, product discovery experience, and user-first delivery all point in that direction.

Question 6

How do you handle ambiguity and changing requirements?

Accepted Answer

I embrace them—change is a core part of the Agile/Scrum process. When requirements change, I don't see it as a problem; I see it as 'new information.' My first step is to ask 'why' to understand the new business goal or user insight. Then, I collaborate with the team (PO, BA, Designers) to assess the impact, break down the new task, and re-prioritize.

Question 7

How do you work with a freelance client?

Accepted Answer

We start with a short conversation about the problem, who's affected, and what success looks like—you don't need a technical spec upfront. I help clarify scope and timing, keep communication simple, and focus on whether the solution works for real users. My goal is to solve the right need, not to impress with tools.

Question 8

How can I reach you about freelance work?

Accepted Answer

LinkedIn is the best place to start—send a message with what you're trying to solve, who it's for, and any timeline. You can also email thuyhankim@gmail.com. I will let you know if freelance collaboration is a good fit.
