Tại Mynavi Techtus Vietnam, chúng tôi tin rằng công nghệ có thể thay đổi, nhưng “trái tim” của mọi sự đổi mới chính là tư duy con người. Cùng nhìn lại câu chuyện của anh Hồ Nghĩa Khang – Kỹ sư AI (AI Engineer) đầy nhiệt huyết. Nơi sự tò mò và lòng kiên trì đã biến thách thức thành dấu ấn rực rỡ: Bằng độc quyền Giải pháp hữu ích cấp quốc gia.

Hành trình nghiên cứu từ con số 0 của Kỹ sư AI

Câu chuyện ngược dòng về những năm 2020-2021, giai đoạn thế giới đầy biến động với Covid-19. Khi đó, kỷ nguyên AI tạo sinh như ChatGPT hay Gemini vẫn còn là điều xa vời. Làm việc với công nghệ lúc bấy giờ đồng nghĩa với việc đối mặt những phép toán ma trận khô khan.

Đối với anh Hồ Nghĩa Khang – hiện là kỹ sư AI tại Mynavi TechTus Vietnam, dự án Blemishes Removal không chỉ là nhiệm vụ kỹ thuật. Khi ấy, anh là một kỹ sư trẻ vừa mới gia nhập lĩnh vực, chưa có nhiều kinh nghiệm thực chiến. Đối mặt bài toán hóc búa cấp hệ thống, mọi thứ đối với anh đều bắt đầu từ con số 0 tròn trĩnh.

Mặc cho sự thiếu hụt về kinh nghiệm, anh vẫn không hề chùn bước; ngược lại, chính tâm thế của một người ‘mới’ đã giúp anh thoát khỏi rào cản từ lối mòn tư duy cũ. Anh Khang bộc bạch: “Tất cả những gì mình có khi đó chỉ là sự tò mò thuần và nhiệt huyết dành cho nghiên cứu”. Chính tinh thần cầu thị của một kỹ sư AI non trẻ đã trở thành động lực mạnh mẽ nhất. Nhờ đó, anh đã biến những đêm nghiên cứu độc lập thành hành trình kiến tạo giải pháp quốc gia.

Rào cản thiếu hụt dữ liệu

Thử thách đặt ra là phát triển mô hình xóa khuyết điểm – Blemishes Removal thời gian thực cho livestream. Thế nhưng, rào cản lớn nhất lại là nền tảng: Hầu như không có bộ dữ liệu mẫu nào về vật thể siêu nhỏ để máy tính học theo.

Thay vì lùi bước, anh nhận ra sự thiếu hụt về công cụ chính là cơ hội. Đây là lúc một kỹ sư cần phát huy tư duy đột phá để xây dựng giải pháp từ những kiến thức căn bản nhất.

Phương pháp tiếp cận

Thay vì tìm mô hình có sẵn, anh Khang chọn cách tiếp cận vấn đề với Tư duy nguyên bản (First Principles). Đây là lộ trình của một kỹ sư AI đi tìm lời giải gốc rễ:

• Tự xây dựng thế giới dữ liệu: Vì chưa có dữ liệu cần thiết, anh đã tự tay tạo nên chúng bằng kỹ thuật xử lý ảnh.

• Dùng logic làm “cầu nối”: Anh thiết lập lớp “mặt nạ” thông minh để khoanh vùng khuôn mặt giúp máy tính không mắc lỗi.

• Toán học hoá hình ảnh: Anh đã “dịch” trực giác thẩm mỹ sang ngôn ngữ của toán học ma trận chính xác.

Hành trình này minh chứng rằng: Dù máy móc có thể viết mã, thì thuật toán mạnh mẽ nhất vẫn là tư duy của người Kỹ sư AI. Việc nhận Bằng độc quyền Giải pháp hữu ích từ Cục Sở hữu trí tuệ là một sự công nhận xứng đáng. Tuy nhiên, với anh Khang, tấm bằng này chỉ là “phần nổi của tảng băng”. Nó không phải đích đến cuối cùng của một Kỹ sư AI, mà là món quà khích lệ tinh thần nghiên cứu lâu dài.

Thành quả xứng đáng cho người kỹ sư AI tận tâm

“Trong kỷ nguyên AI, khi công nghệ không ngừng thay đổi, sự tò mò và tinh thần ham học hỏi không chỉ là lợi thế, mà còn là nền tảng giúp mọi người thích nghi và tiến xa hơn” – anh Khang chia sẻ. Chỉ cần bạn kiên trì gieo hạt giống tư duy, thành quả sẽ đến một cách tự nhiên.

Tại Mynavi Techtus Vietnam, chúng tôi không chỉ xây dựng phần mềm, mà còn nuôi dưỡng những tâm hồn tiên phong. Anh Hồ Nghĩa Khang chính là minh chứng sống động cho tư duy đó: Một kỹ sư AI đã biến những đêm dài nghiên cứu độc lập thành tấm Bằng độc quyền Giải pháp hữu ích cấp Quốc gia. Hành trình của anh khẳng định một niềm tin bất biến: Công nghệ có thể thay đổi, nhưng bản lĩnh khai phá của con người mới là thuật toán mạnh mẽ nhất để kiến tạo nên những di sản vô giá cho tương lai.

Q3.“Mở rộng giới hạn” được hiểu như thế nào và làm sao để làm được điều đó?

“Mở rộng giới hạn” với tôi đơn giản đó chính là giảm bớt những giới hạn do mình tự đặt ra. Nhiều giới hạn thực ra là những giả định được tạo bởi kinh nghiệm cũ, thói quen cũ, hoặc “cách mình vẫn luôn làm từ trước tới nay”. Khi bị cuốn theo những thói quen đó, mình không chỉ giới hạn kết quả, mà còn giới hạn cả năng lượng, sự tự tin, và độ rộng của lựa chọn cho chính bản thân mình.

Vì vậy, bước đầu tiên để mở rộng giới hạn không phải là cố gắng hơn, mà là nhìn rõ hơn:

• • Mình đang phản ứng vì sự thật hiện tại, hay vì một ký ức cũ?
  • Mình thấy khó vì việc thật sự khó, hay vì đang mang theo niềm tin “mình không làm được”?
  • Mình đang kẹt vì thiếu giải pháp, hay vì bị kẹt trong cách làm quen thuộc?

Khi nhìn rõ, tự nhiên sẽ có khoảng trống để lựa chọn. Và chính khoảng trống đó là nơi tiềm năng mở ra.

Q4. Phần trên có nhắc đến “mỗi người đang vận hành hệ điều hành của bản thân”. Có thể giải thích rõ hơn phép ẩn dụ này và mong muốn hướng đến điều gì?

Trong môi trường IT như TechTus, mọi người đều quen với khái niệm Hệ Điều Hành (OS), nên tôi dùng nó như một ẩn dụ cho cả cá nhân và tổ chức. Nếu ví:

• • Body là phần cứng (hardware);
  • Mind là hệ điều hành (OS);
  • Energy/Motivation là nguồn điện (power);

Thì tôi mong mỗi người và cả công ty dần xây được: Body khoẻ, OS linh hoạt – sẵn sàng cập nhật, và nguồn năng lượng dồi dào.

“Linh hoạt và sẵn sàng cập nhật” nghĩa là: gặp thay đổi không bị đứng hình, không bị dính mắc vào thói quen cũ của bản thân, của team hay của tổ chức – để nhìn rõ “việc quan trọng nhất cần làm” ở từng thời điểm; rồi biết cách đóng gói thành những outcome nhỏ có value, hoàn tất gọn gàng trước khi đón nhận điều mới mẻ tiếp theo.

Q5. Một câu để anh chốt lại cho phần Ready Lens số này?

Tôi không mong chúng ta “Ready hoàn hảo”. Tôi mong chúng ta Ready để nhận ra thói quen cũ, chọn lại cách vận hành, và mỗi ngày làm rõ việc quan trọng nhất – rồi đóng gói outcome gọn gàng. Khi đó, cả cá nhân lẫn tổ chức sẽ tự nhiên mở rộng giới hạn và sẵn sàng với mọi thay đổi tiếp theo.

The Current State of AI Adoption in Japanese Workplaces

Understanding the Numbers

Recent research reveals that only 8.4% of Japanese employees report using AI at work, with 6.4% specifically utilizing generative AI (GEAI). When examining the finance, insurance, and manufacturing sectors specifically, Japan records the lowest proportion of AI users among comparable developed nations. This gap represents both a challenge and an unprecedented opportunity for growth.

The relatively low adoption rate shouldn’t be interpreted as resistance to technology. Rather, it reflects a combination of factors including talent shortages, implementation challenges, and concerns about accuracy and reliability. Importantly, 93% of current AI users in Japan believe AI workplace usage will increase substantially over the next decade, demonstrating strong confidence in the technology’s future role.

Sector-Specific Disparities in AI in Japan

AI adoption varies dramatically across Japanese industries, with an 18.8 percentage point gap between the highest and lowest adopting sectors:

High Adoption Sectors:

• Information and Communications: 22.9% adoption rate
• Finance and Insurance: Strong adoption driven by data analytics needs
• Scientific Research and Professional Services: High utilization for complex problem-solving
• Manufacturing: Growing adoption for process optimization

Low Adoption Sectors:

• Accommodations, Eating, and Drinking Services: 4.1% adoption rate
• Medical, Healthcare, and Welfare: Below-average adoption despite potential applications
• Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries: Limited but growing implementation
• These disparities highlight specific outsourcing opportunities, as sectors with lower adoption rates may benefit significantly from external AI expertise and implementation support.

The Outsourcing Opportunity: Addressing Japan’s AI Talent Gap

Understanding the Talent Challenge

Japanese companies consistently report struggling with a critical shortage of talent possessing both workplace experience and fundamental AI knowledge. This talent gap creates a compelling case for outsourcing and offshore partnerships as strategic solutions.

With over a decade of experience in this domain, Mynavi TechTus Vietnam takes pride in its team of seasoned engineers who deeply understand Japanese culture and professional norms. The following insights are compiled from the perspectives of several Technical Leaders and Senior Engineers at TechTus, aiming to provide a more comprehensive view for engineers who are exploring this market.

The First Lessons When Working with Japanese Clients

According to Mr. H.N.D, a Technical Leader at TechTus, Japanese clients “tend to clarify everything before getting started. They value precision, transparency, systematic processes, and risk anticipation. Work only begins once all conditions are clearly agreed upon.”

From such experiences, many TechTus engineers have realized that collaborating with Japanese partners doesn’t just sharpen technical expertise – it also cultivates three essential skill groups:

1. Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills

Engineers must constantly ask “why”- digging into the root cause behind every requirement and questioning underlying assumptions. This process builds logical thinking, systematic reasoning, and the ability to clearly articulate ideas – key skills for developing large-scale systems.

2. Risk Management and Planning Skills

In the Japanese work environment, every possible scenario must be anticipated. Engineers learn to assess risks, prepare contingency plans, and report progress regularly. This strengthens their project management capability and proactive mindset.

3. Communication and Transparency

Reporting progress, sharing challenges, and raising issues early are considered mandatory. This “no-blame transparency” culture trains engineers to communicate effectively, listen actively, and collaborate more efficiently.

4. Attention to Detail and Thoroughness

Working with Japanese clients demands near-perfect precision in every line of code, design document, and specification. Engineers must pay attention to even the smallest inconsistencies – from variable naming conventions to end-user experience. This continuous cycle of review and refinement fosters meticulousness, patience, and the mindset of “getting it right the first time” – a trait highly valued in global tech environments.

These aren’t just requirements for working with Japanese clients, they form the foundation that makes engineers more reliable, disciplined, and ready for higher-level positions.

How the Japanese Market Accelerates Skill Development

According to Mr. B.A.T, a Software Engineer at TechTus, over three years of working with Japanese clients have “pushed him to constantly elevate his skills.”

“Japanese projects, especially in IoT and smart manufacturing, often involve big data processing, device connectivity, and 24/7 stability. While developing IoT systems for a Japanese client, I had to learn more about MQTT, edge computing, and optimizing message queues. Within a few months, my system design and performance analysis skills improved dramatically.”

Beyond technical growth, the Japanese working style also strengthens engineers’ critical thinking and logical reasoning. Clients frequently ask “Why did you choose this approach?” or “What if conditions change?” – forcing engineers to think deeply, foresee risks, and defend their solutions with clear, evidence-based logic. These are key skills for any senior or leadership role.

Self-Improvement through the Spirit of Kaizen

“I think Japanese clients are meticulous, not necessarily demanding. Sometimes engineers find them difficult simply because they can’t yet meet that level of meticulousness,”shared a BrSE (Bridge System Engineer) at TechTus.

“The Japanese mindset encourages continuous improvement. Every project includes a retrospective phase to reflect and optimize. That mindset keeps me from ever feeling ‘good enough’. I’m always seeking ways to make things faster, cleaner, and more efficient.”

Thanks to this meticulous and detail-oriented culture, TechTus teams have significantly improved both discipline and optimization skills. “In one project, through persistent collaboration with the client, our team reduced costs by 70% and doubled search speed. It was a powerful lesson in continuous improvement,” Mr. B.A.T recalled.

The Challenges

However, succeeding in the Japanese market is far from easy. Language barriers, indirect communication styles, and rigid management processes can make it challenging for young Vietnamese engineers to adapt. Japanese projects often require detailed documentation, strict schedules, and rigorous testing, where even a small mistake can undermine trust, the most valued aspect in Japanese business culture.

To address this, Mynavi TechTus Vietnam established a team of Associate Product Owners (APO) who serve as the communication bridge between Japanese clients and Vietnamese engineers.

Unlike IT Comtors (interpreters) in many outsourcing firms, APO at TechTus are not just language facilitators, they possess both business and technical expertise. This allows engineers to focus fully on technical solutions without getting lost in translation or cultural nuances.

This model shortens communication time, minimizes requirement misunderstandings, and accelerates project feedback loops. As a result, engineers can enhance both their technical and cultural competencies in a natural and effective way.

結論

In essence, the Japanese market sets high standards, but simultaneously serves as a rapid-development environment for Vietnamese engineers. The meticulousness, transparency, and spirit of Kaizen from Japanese partners compel engineers to elevate both their technical proficiency and professional mindset. For those aspiring to sharpen their skills and advance significantly in the technology sector, engaging with the Japanese outsourcing market is truly a worthwhile consideration.
