In our Meet the Team section, we introduce the people behind Bigbom Eco, and dive into what drives them to help bring this project to life. In this episode we will get to know our Co-Founder and CTO Co Le Quoc Tuan.

After obtaining his degree in Physics at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Science, Tuan joined the team of VNG Corporation. VNG is one of the largest and most-respected tech companies in Vietnam, specialising in the development of digital content, online entertainment, social networking and e-commerce.

Scaling VNG’s MMOGs

Tuan was a significant contributor to VNG’s growth during his nearly 7 years at the firm, and was involved in several projects during his time. During his time as Senior System Engineer & Team Lead, Tuan scaled the system from 2k PCU to 60k PCU within only 8 months, and reduced and maintained the average uptime of more than 99% for 3 years. To date, this is the highest uptime among all Massive Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) at VNG. In addition, Tuan designed and built an automation tool for operating a game called Phong Tan, reducing the process time from 6h to 1h45m. The success of Tuan’s system did not go unnoticed, as all other MMOG’s in the firm adopted his system. The Latency Tracking tool Tuan developed, to identify & fix latency causes in online games, was also used in VNG’s largest MMOGs.

Tuan’s final stint as a Senior Systems Engineer at VNG was his role as an operation manager for Kiem The since its inception. Kiem The grew to be one of the most successful MMOGs in the history of VNG. After being promoted to Associate System Manager, Tuan’s focus within VNG shifted from MMOGs to networking systems and eCommerce, ultimately laying the foundation for his role at Bigbom Eco as CTO.

From Games to eCommerce

As Associate System Manager, Tuan used his experience and expertise to design and build both the frontend and backend for the B2C eCommerce website 123.vcn, its C2C counterpart 123mua.vn and the Online Payment Gateway 123pay.vn. Additionally further scaled and optimised the OpenERP backend, and deployed and managed the Private Blog Network (PBN). This allowed VNG to automatically deploy, upgrade and restore over 1000 websites in less than 2 days.

In 2015 Tuan joined Lazada, Southeast Largest e-Commerce company founded by Rocket Internet and partially owned by Alibaba Group. At Lazada, Tuan was involved in several scaling projects, including migrating their eCommerce platform to new Data Centers, and . At Lazada, a colleague described him as a visionary with a deep understanding of optimisation. A few years later, Tuan joined Skylab Innogram as Director of Service Operations. There Tuan helped design and develop the company’s key product, with the aim of bringing IoT data delivery to the next level.

The foundation for Bigbom Eco

After an eventful and successful career at some of Vietnam’s most successful and innovative companies, Tuan Co is using his experience and expertise to lay a technical foundation for Bigbom Eco.

“Vung and I share the same ambition and dreams to change the digital advertising landscape, by using blockchain tech. I was really excited when Vung introduced his idea to me, and we spent a lot of time discussing on how to further optimise the idea. With more than 8 years working at VNG and Lazada, I have designed, developed and operated several large systems with millions of users and transactions per second. I have a solid understanding about high-performance and fault tolerance systems. This wide experience is valuable in blockchain, as blockchain was originally designed to provide a fault-tolerant, fast and secure platform for transactions. Together with the team at Bigbom, I am committed to develop a fast, low-cost and reliable decentralized app for Advertisers, Ads Platforms and Publishers. In the field of digital advertising, cost optimisation is very important, because of the level of competition within this market. We will continuously look at new developments to help us accomplish these goals. An example is our collaboration with Tomochain; we are looking forward to working together with them to provide blazing-fast transaction confirmations at near-zero costs.”

Bigbom Eco’s Pre-ICO is scheduled to start on March 28 with only 1.000 ETH cap. More info about Bigbom Eco, the whitepaper and the process for whitelisting can be found on their website: www.bigbom.com.
