What we do

Vietnamese engineers have so many potentials hidden. What we need is a place to exchange knowledge, a platform to share, also more exposures to the world's standard.

Grokking Vietnam aimed to become the very first organization in Vietnam who would fill in the missing points.

We are working very hard to provide Vietnamese software engineers with:

  • A monthly activity to share and exchange knowledge between juniors/seniors/technical leaders
  • A yearly engineering competition
  • A series of career talks for students and junior engineers to help define their career paths

"The Grokking team believes that Vietnam would become a tech-hub not only in South-East-Asia but also in Asia and the world in the future. And we would be eager to become a part of the big bright vision."

Grokking TechTalks

Every month, Grokking organize an offline Grokking TechTalk where we invite technical leaders, senior engineers, CTO who come from Viki, Anduin, Palantir, Mysquar, Sentifi, Hoiio... to come and share their in-depth experiences in their fields.


Our TechTalk focus in delivering topics such as: Computer Science, Data Engineering, Data Science, Software Development Process, ... which provide audiences with more in-depth knowledges as well as practical experiences to apply in their work.


With 50-100 audiences joint every event since 2014, Grokking TechTalk has become a frequent offline activities for Software Engineers in Vietnam. People came to present, to share, to talk to the guys who share the same passions.


Since Mar 2016, Grokking TechTalk has been to Singapore. The first gathering had more than 20 Vietnamese engineers who worked for Viki, Honestbee, Lazada, ...

Also in 2016, Grokking planned to bring the event format to Ha Noi and Da Nang to connect more engineers throughout Vietnam.

Other activities

Coding competition

A hackathon-like activity but focus in solving engineering problems for senior engineers.

Building a clone of Redis in 1 day, setting up a simple analytics system in half a day, designing a scalable API, or optimizing one existing system, ... are the problems we would like to solve.

University talks

Aiming to become an active supporter for IT students and juniors. We organize sharing sessions between students and engineers who worked/interned in Google, Facebook for many years.
