Trần Thanh Vũ

Product Manager · Ho Chi Minh City

I don’t just follow the process — I make sure it’s the right process.

Product Manager with a frontend engineering background. I turned an outsourcing company’s reusable code into TERA, a SaaS platform that grew users from 17K to 30K within five months of launch. I lead a 10-person team, report to the CEO, and use AI every day to get from idea to validated product faster.

Case study

TERA: turning outsourcing assets into a SaaS that sells

From reusable code to a revenue line in 4 months

Context
The company had years of client-project code but no product of its own. The CEO wanted a platform to sell VinaCAD, TakaCAD and the VCC ecosystem.
What I did
Owned execution from January 2026. Reused existing codebases instead of building from scratch, then set up product configuration and marketing flows by May.
Outcome
Live since May 2026. Users up 76% and roughly US$76K in revenue by October.

How I work

Four habits that keep a team shipping

Start with why

Before any feature I ask why it exists, what it adds to the system and why users need it. Feasibility and approach come after.

US As a PM, I want the reason first, so that we build the right thing.

Give options, not excuses

When change requests and bugs pile up before a release, stakeholders get two clear paths: ship on time with the top-priority scope, or move the date with a concrete plan.

US As a client, I want a choice, so that I stay in control.

Lift the slowest member

A team is only as fast as its slowest member, so I invest in everyone, not only the strongest.

US As a team, we want no one left behind, so that velocity is real.

AI-native by default

AI drafts my plans, specs, reports and code. I build HTML prototypes to check what clients want before development starts.

US As a PM, I want feedback in hours, so that we skip weeks of rework.
