Hai Hoang is the founder of Above Target. A project manager since 2009 with 17 years leading software delivery across Vietnam and global teams, he completed a focused certification sprint between October 2020 and March 2021 — earning AWS Solutions Architect Associate, AWS Machine Learning Specialty, AWS Developer Associate, PMI-ACP, and Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — before turning back to product building.
