Office professional & former web developer

Trong Cong Danh Dao

Administrative professional with a web development background. Combining organizational skills and technical expertise to support operations, streamline workflows, and deliver results.

About

I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from Southern New Hampshire University and bring a blend of technical knowledge and administrative expertise to every role.

I've always been curious about how things are built from the ground up. That curiosity led me into full-stack development and UI/UX research, creating websites for organizations ranging from nonprofits to enterprise platforms like Laserfiche. Along the way, my focus shifted. I realized I didn't just want to build the technology, I wanted to help people use it. That's where my path turned toward customer service and technical support, where I get to stay in tech while making a direct impact on the people around me.
