About · Nguyễn Thái Khang Hy

I started with design. Then I learned to build the system around it.

I'm a product designer and builder in Ho Chi Minh City. I take products from a rough brief to shipped: I own the design, define the product logic and business rules, and direct an AI-assisted build. I don't write the code myself. I direct the agents and developers who do, and check every screen against the rules.

Most of my work comes from outsourcing, in domains that rarely overlap: semiconductor HMI under NDA, a Japanese childcare app, a five-role construction platform, aquaculture, B2B SaaS and e-commerce. Most of it shipped under tight constraints, so I validate every decision with the people closest to the problem: domain experts, engineers and the client's own team.

Where I’m most useful

When the problem is complex, multi-role, or hard to hand off.

  • 01Rules before screensMy build has no code layer to quietly absorb a vague spec. So I write the flows, roles and business rules down first. It is the real work, not the warm-up.
  • 02Working inside real constraintsNDAs, tight budgets, markets I design for from abroad, projects joined three years in. I check every step with engineers and domain experts.
  • 03One person across the loopProduct thinking, design and build direction in one loop, so less gets lost between hand-offs.
Experience

Three years, seven products.

UX/UI designer at ARIS Vietnam since May 2023, alongside independent builds. Tap a year.

Getting grounded in regulated, data-heavy work

First project: an aquaculture platform. Learned to design for data-heavy field workflows fast, and proposed restructuring a 16-step flow into 5 guided phases.
