Khanh Tran
(pronounced like 'Kahn')
I haven't found a job title that really fits what I do, so here's what I enjoy most:
- Research & data — I like digging into topics and finding information like a detective, using tools, linguistic/cultural/political/economic understanding
- People — I care about the people my work is for and the people I work with. Like many others, I enjoy working with people who share the same mindset: curious, constructive, competent
- Impact — being part of something with an ambitious purpose and by people who actually want to make a difference
Life highlights
- Went 7 hours hunting with one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes Hadzabe, in Tanzania
- Conducted a few independent low-profile interviews with individuals connected to the Vietnam War for Bachelor's thesis, challenging the single narrative I grew up with and deepening my understanding of history, bias, and storytelling
In my free time, you'll find me
- Building tools for good
- Working on my polyglot dream (viet → eng → ita → french → ?)
- travle.earth, Flags (gedev), catfishing.net, GeoGuessr (recommend me any good games!)
- Strava, HYROX in training
