About Me

Hello! Allow me to briefly introduce myself! My name is Fong Vang. I currently reside in Minneapolis. I enjoy eating food. What type of food you might ask? Well, I'm not much of a picky eater but I do love eating noodles with sriracha sauce for an added flavor, pizza, pho (a vietnamese noodle-base bowl) and steak to name a few. I enjoy playing games that are competitive whether that's on the PC or just any outdoor sports. As of now, I'm looking towards a new career within the programmer/developer field. Prior to picking up on coding, I worked at a steel mill right outside of St. Paul. Unfortunately, the mill went through a mass layoff due lack of demand but when one door closes, another one opens. Many of the more experienced workers there with decades of experience were laid off. To be forced to go out of your comfort zone and search for another job just before retirement is scary and somewhat of a setback. I digress but with that in mind, I have decided to continue my education and look where the future is. I want to keep improving on myself so I that won't have any regrets in the future thinking what I could have done differently. I look forward to completing the UofM coding bootcamp and honing my skills so that I may get back on track. Thank you for your time! Please feel free to contact me for anything! I look forward to speaking with you!




More about me



Hello! The few following pictures in the following order left to right, top to bottom were from a few years ago. Very briefly, (1)first photo consists of me and a few of my good friends that we met from high school. This picture was taken at Chicago's Willis Tower observation deck. (2)Second photo is just my friends posing for fun as if they were in a business setting. This picture was taken at a hotel at Bangkok, Thailand. (3)A temple that is inaccessible in the middle of a large pond in Thailand. (4)A luxurious watch that I took a photo of from an expensive store somewhere in Thailand. (5)A few of my friends and I wanted to experience a new way of eating so we went into a restaurant inside a mall in Thailand called MBK Center. All you can eat hotpot-style while sitting next to the conveyor of food on a plate prepped by chefs at the back. (6)Fishing is a part of me so here I am posing with some walleyes that I caught at St. Cloud awhile back!
