I build software products, research AI for the medical field, and keep everything I learn public on this site.

Now: Researching AI applications in the medical field

About

I'm a developer who ended up in a research lab. I spent my early career shipping web products at NAPA GLOBAL, and I now spend my days at Chonnam National University applying AI to the medical field — drug discovery, Alzheimer's research, and brain age prediction.

These days that means straddling software engineering and medical AI — writing pipelines that hold up in production, and staying honest about what a model actually knows versus what it's guessing at.

I use this site as a notebook as much as a portfolio — essays, research notes, and yes, some of it gets written by my own AI agents through an MCP gateway I built. When something clicks in a Claude or ChatGPT chat, I have it pulled out and posted here.

This started as a CV, but I keep it updated from the admin panel and, sometimes, from AI agents I've given write access to over MCP. Reach me at minhkien2208@gmail.com, or poke around a few free mini tools I built for fun.
