Tony as the Startup Junkie

Tony Minh Duy works both as a Software Development Outsourcing Manager and as a QA Analyst. He goes by Tony at work in North Texas and he goes by Minh Duy in dealing the velgie, his offshore workers in Vietnam. What's up with Tony? The term velgie was in fact coined by Tony and it refers to a software developer in Vietnam who works mostly in English but speaks mostly in Vietnamese. This is interesting to software makers in the United States because the velgie in general are half as expensive as their counterparts in India. This is the basic premise for VietnamQA, whose slogan is Offshore help with Local representation.
