Thi Nguyen
I met Thi through work, and we worked together remotely for almost five years, and shared an office for one good day. As a coworker I appreciated her eye for detail, desire to do things right, willingness to challenge me when I was wrong, and the resultant excellent code.
More importantly, as a friend I appreciate our conversations, our little time together hiking, biking, and walking (which I hope to repeat some day!), and her perspectives informed by a background and experiences so different from mine coupled with her honest acceptance of me as a being.
Thi has a website, which she is too busy doing interesting things to update, a state of being we should all strive to achieve.
