1. Hi! Please introduce yourself. What is your current role and what are your responsibilities? How long have you been with ASW?

Hi! My full name is Dang Ngoc Thuy Vy, and my English name is Ivy. I’ve been working at ASW for over a year and a half. I joined the MedHealth team as a Cloud Migration Tester, and currently, I’m working as a Quality Control (QC) professional across two applications. In my first year, I focused on migrating Practice Manager in the first six months, then shifted to MedEBridge for the next six months. Now, I’m proud to support both projects in a QC capacity.

2. How did you find your way into IT, and what made you choose cloud migration?

My journey into IT started from an interest in technology and how it helps solve real-world problems. I was particularly drawn to cloud migration because it’s a dynamic area where I can contribute to helping businesses modernize and optimize their systems.

3. Congratulations on being a Client Spotlight awardee! What was the feedback that you received from the client regarding your work?

I always strive to deliver high-quality work to our clients. It was an honor for me and my team to receive positive feedback that recognized our hard work and dedication. The client appreciated our commitment to quality and our collaborative approach.

4. So far, which projects are you most proud of during your time at ASW?

I’ve been working exclusively with the MedHealth team, and I’m very proud of the projects we’ve completed. It’s been a great opportunity to work with supportive teammates and clients. I’ve grown both professionally and personally through this experience.

5. Vietnam is emerging as a hub for tech innovation. What do you think makes Vietnamese tech professionals stand out on the global stage?

I believe we’re known for being hardworking and committed. We’re always eager to support our clients with the most efficient solutions, while also constantly learning and exploring new technologies to enhance our work.

6. What do you enjoy most about your job?

The opportunity to work with amazing colleagues and clients. They’re always supportive and open to collaboration, which creates a great environment for learning and growth.

7. Who inspires you—either personally or professionally—and why?

My biggest inspiration is my aunt. She raised me when I was young and currently works as a university lecturer in medicine. Her calm, solution-focused approach and her dedication to continuous learning—even though she is 75 years old—have deeply influenced me. She taught me that learning never stops and self-improvement has no age limit.

8. What are your hobbies or personal interests outside of work?

I love traveling to different countries. It gives me a chance to explore new cultures, experience diverse infrastructures, and, of course, try unique local foods!

9. What insights have you gained from working with international clients?

It has helped me understand and appreciate different cultures and working styles. It’s taught me how to adapt, communicate better, and collaborate across time zones and cultural differences.

10. Can you share with us the best piece of advice that has helped you during challenging times?

Take a step back and assess each problem based on its impact. I’ve learned to stay calm, prioritize, and resolve issues in a way that avoids conflict and leads to the best outcome. It’s a mindset that’s helped me overcome both personal and professional challenges.
