👋 Hello. I’m Vuong.
I’m the Founder of Meteor Dreams, a Boston-based consulting company. I help companies untangle messy systems and build technology that lasts, sometimes as a fractional CTO and sometimes simply as someone who has been there before.
My days are split between stablecoins, AI/ML, and whatever technical puzzle a client brings to the table. I’ve worked with startups shipping their first product and Fortune 100s working through scale and complexity. Both have their lessons.
Why this blog?
I’m a compulsive tinkerer. When something breaks, or when it works too well, I need to understand why. This is where I take those obsessions apart - whether it’s an elegant piece of code, a financial system that shouldn’t work but does, or the way problems get solved in production.
You’ll find writing on:
Stablecoins - Production systems, real-world adoption, and infrastructure at scale
Tokenized Deposits - Bridging traditional banking and blockchain
AI/ML - Machine-to-machine payments, autonomous agents, and practical applications
Engineering Leadership - Team building, avoiding the rewrite trap, and what actually works
I write to think. If something here helps you think too, I’d love to continue the conversation.
Speaking
I speak at conferences, universities, and company events about blockchain, stablecoins, tokenized deposits, fintech, AI/ML, and engineering ethos. Topics include:
- Stablecoins & Tokenized Deposits - Real-world adoption, infrastructure challenges, and bridging traditional finance with blockchain
- Blockchain & Fintech - What actually works in production, lessons from emerging markets, and building systems that last
- AI/ML - Machine-to-machine payments, autonomous agents, and practical applications
- Technology Leadership - Building teams, engineering culture, and navigating complexity at scale

What do you do?
I'm the Founder of Meteor Dreams, a Boston-based technology consulting company. I work as a fractional and interim CTO helping companies build systems that last. My technical focus is on stablecoins, tokenized deposits, AI/ML, and blockchain infrastructure.
What makes your perspective different?
I'm a practitioner who has shipped both successful and failed systems. I focus on real-world adoption in emerging markets rather than Silicon Valley narratives. My writing is backed by production data and experience building systems that handle billions in transactions globally.

What is the difference between this site and Meteor Dreams?
vuongnguyen.com is my personal blog where I write about stablecoins, AI, blockchain, and lessons from building production systems. Meteor Dreams is my consulting company where clients can learn about services, see case studies, and engage for technical advisory work.
Are you Nguồn Thiêng?
Yes, Nguồn Thiêng is my creative outlet for Vietnamese diaspora culture, music, and songwriting. It's where I explore my Vietnamese heritage through performance and cultural content. While this site focuses on technology and engineering, Nguồn Thiêng is where I connect with my roots and creative expression. Read more about my work as a Vietnamese storyteller.
