My story

I'm building GoMetap on one belief: every café, laundry shop or neighborhood gym deserves operations and retention tools on par with big chains — without needing an IT team.

What started as an NFC digital business card in 2025 is now an ecosystem that closes the customer loop: sell → pay → earn points → engage → reconnect, with POS Lite, Automated Payments, GoMetap Wallet and GoMetap Fitness.

My systems-engineering background helps me make fast, pragmatic product calls. This blog is where I share the startup journey, business lessons, digital transformation and AI for business.

Journey

  1. Founder & CEO

    GoMetap Ecosystem

    Jul 2025 – Present
    • Set the strategy and built an O2O ecosystem of 5 active products: GoMetap Wallet, POS Lite, Automated Payments, GoMetap Fitness and Open Source (NameCard.io.vn — the original product — is now deprecated).
    • Launched GoMetap Wallet — app-free loyalty on Apple Wallet & Google Wallet, from 159k VND/month, connected to 8 popular POS systems (KiotViet, Sapo, Haravan, Nhanh.vn, Pancake POS, Loyverse, MISA eShop, iPOS.vn).
    • Built Automated Payments — instant bank-transfer confirmation and invoice printing through partnerships with PayOS and SePay.
    • Expanded into F&B, retail, services and fitness verticals; took the brand international via Product Hunt, PeerPush and a 4-language website.
    • Lead a lean team and apply AI across product and operations to keep costs low and ship fast.

  2. Software Engineer (Data & Systems)

    Rivercrane Việt Nam

    Mar 2023 – May 2026
    • Built terabyte-scale data processing systems in an ISO 27001-compliant environment.
    • This engineering foundation drives sound product, architecture and infrastructure-cost decisions at GoMetap.
