“My team and I are so grateful for all the kindhearted support and valuable resources that we received to tackle all the missions.” – Hiep Nguyen.

Long Chang – Learn new things and don’t forget who you are
With prior 5 years of coding experience, Long joined NashTech in 2013 and chose to follow the path of being a Technical Architect. As one of our most excellent Nashers, he has been nominated for the “Employee of the Year” multiple times, and 2020 marks the first time he has received it.
Sharing about his journey with us, Long said that his initial expectation was that the working environment would be the same as other outsourcing firms. However, the longer he worked at NashTech, the more he appreciated the great level of care and support that Nashers receive. The nurturing environment of NashTech and the chance to handle foreign projects has given him room to enhance both of his technical skills and soft skills,
When asked about the most memorable experience at NashTech, Long recalled when he was on the team of a sophisticated client project. To meet the tight deadline, over the course of 3 months, he and his teammates had to frequently work overtime until 10-11pm.
“Despite the stress and tension, I was happy to see that everyone still enjoyed tackling the challenges together.” – Long said.
Long Chang shared with us that he has a great passion for coding. He also shared his ambition of architecting and developing applications that would be beneficial to society. Currently at NashTech, Long is trying out his ability in other technical fields besides coding, as he still finds himself surrounded with many new areas to learn and pursue.
Experiencing new technologies and improving English skills are the key to excel yourself.
Concluding our interview, Long described the three things that keep him working at NashTech. They are:
- The opportunity to express his ability
