My Journey: From Mathematics to C++ Mastery

My story: Why MasterC++ exists

C++ is the engine of the modern world, yet learning it often feels like navigating a dense, outdated textbook. I know this feeling well. Like many ambitious developers, I struggled to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and writing efficient, production-ready code. That struggle is why I created MasterC++.

I was born and raised in Vietnam, and my journey eventually led me to Denmark in 2012 to pursue a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). That academic foundation in rigor and problem-solving is what fundamentally shapes my approach to software development.

After completing my studies, I made the switch to the tech industry in 2016. For nearly a decade, I've worked as a C++ developer at various innovative tech companies right here in Copenhagen, Denmark. This experience provided me with a deep, practical understanding of what C++ developers actually need to know: not just syntax, but also memory models, performance optimization, and modern design patterns.

MasterC++ is where my academic rigor meets real-world industry experience. It is my commitment to provide the clear, modern, and practical roadmap I wish I had when I was starting out.

My approach: rigor meets reality

As someone who transitioned from pure mathematics to high-performance C++, my unique perspective is built on two core principles: clarity and performance.

1. Focused on modern C++ excellence

You won't find dated C++98 advice here. I focus entirely on C++17, C++20, and beyond. My tutorials delve into concepts such as move semantics, smart pointers, and the effective use of the Standard Template Library (STL)—the features that truly define modern, maintainable C++.

2. Built for deep understanding

My background in mathematics means I don't just teach what to type; I teach why it works. We tackle performance, memory management, and low-level details with the precision and rigor required to write code that isn't only functional but also genuinely fast and robust.

3. A practical roadmap

Learning C++ can feel like wandering in the dark. I break down the complexity into clear, actionable roadmaps based on what I see being used every day in professional development environments in Copenhagen. Whether you are a student or a senior engineer, I provide a focused path to help you reach true C++ mastery.

Who should join me on MasterC++?
