Capturing Nature's Story

About Me

I'm Phung Quang Thang, a student and developer passionate about climate resilience and meaningful technology. Growing up in Khanh Hoa, a coastal province in Vietnam, I witnessed how floods and storms brought fear to local communities. That's why I build tools that help people stay safe, informed, and prepared.
