Hai Vu

I am thrilled to be a part of this community. My passion for a positive working culture stems from the invaluable experiences I've had working alongside productive and cooperative teams. From them, I have gleaned insights and grown both professionally and personally. The IT Code Fair stood out to me as an incredible opportunity, not just for personal development, but also to broaden my network and connect with potential employers. Furthermore, I believe in giving back. Being a part of the CDU student community means more than just attending classes; it's about contributing and ensuring that our collective student journey is meaningful and purposeful. I look forward to the myriad of experiences and connections we will share together!

Ruobin Zhang

Hello, I'm Ruobin. Previously majored in communications studies, I identified my limitations in executing quantitative research for social studies, which motivated my transition to CDU as an IT student. Through information systems and data science studies, I’ve discovered a newfound pragmatism and passion. I relish in analyzing and solving problems, and find fulfillment in collaborative goal achievement. Working with equally passionate peers in the IT industry has been enriching, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our shared community through IT Code fair. I look forward to facing new challenges and expanding my experiences in this vibrant field.

From bustling tech events to thought-provoking seminars, I'm on a mission to absorb every byte of knowledge and experience. Excitement is an understatement when it comes to being your ambassador for the CDU Code Fair. It's not just an event; it's a playground for tech enthusiasts to connect, share, and envision the future. Looking forward to coding, collaborating, and creating with all of you!

Shiraz Shrestha

I'm Shiraz Shrestha, your fellow enthusiast on all things technology and creativity, currently immersing into the complexities of Cybersecurity through my Master’s journey at Charles Darwin University, Australia. Navigating through multiple continents, from the rich cultural tapestry of Nepal to the innovative landscapes of the United States, and now the dynamic arenas of Australia, my journey has been a fascinating exploration of not just technology, but also of cultures, methodologies, and collaborative spirits. I've always believed in a symbiotic relationship between technology and creativity. Whether it's crafting lines of code or capturing a photograph, the principle of creating something impactful and expressive remains the same. From software frameworks to lenses, my varied interests have always oscillated between the technical and the creative, embodying a spirit of continuous learning and expression through multiple mediums such as photography, videography, arts, and music. Join me as we traverse through IT Code Fair, exploring, learning, and perhaps, finding that sweet spot where technology meets art. Excited to embark on this journey of exploration and innovation with all of you!

Anne

Hello everyone, I am Anne. After over three years of experience in senior BI roles in Vietnam, where I worked extensively with customer data, I decided to pursue a Master of Data Science to deepen my knowledge in the field. Currently, I am in the last semester of my Master of Data Science course at CDU and working as a report developer for NTG. I believe that, alongside academic pursuits, getting involved in extracurricular activities, such as clubs, events, and competitions, can significantly help students expand their network, understand the community's culture, and discover more job opportunities. I am excited to be part of IT CodeFair 2024, a competitive and collaborative event, and look forward to contributing to and sharing my experiences with fellow students at CDU.
