How many of you believe launching equal a close in your Epic?

At Money Forward Vietnam (MFV), we believe that AI-first isn't an empty propaganda; nurturing it requires a culture where engineers are empowered to challenge the status quo. To honor this spirit, we launched the AI Hero Award. Far from being just another corporate trophy, this peer-recognized initiative was created to spotlight the "real-world stories" of our engineers during MFV's transformation into an AI-First organization.

At Money Forward Vietnam (MFV), being an "AI-first" company means much more than just typing better prompts into a chat interface. We are building AI at the architectural level. While the industry is still fixated on "Prompt Engineering", our engineering teams have already transitioned to a more rigorous, scalable discipline: Context Engineering. In this deep dive, MFV AI Engineer Henry Vo breaks down the architecture of information, the "pathologies" of AI context windows, and how MFV is fundamentally changing the software development lifecycle.Part 1: The Vision - A Cognitive ShiftThe evolution of artificial intelligence from simple chat interfaces to sophisticated, autonomous digital

Partitioning is a database optimization technique that allows you to split a large table into smaller, more manageable pieces called partitions. Each partition is stored separately, but still logically represents a single table. This helps improve performance and maintainability, especially for large datasets.

To win the Most Valuable Team (MVT) Award at Money Forward Vietnam, it takes more than just coding skills. It takes a "Product Mindset," a dash of AI innovation, and an obsession with User Focus.

Few weeks after the contest ended, MFV and our Forwardians spent some short moments reflecting on their experience.

We sat down with Rain Tran, Engineering Lead at the Metis Payroll team and the recent winner of the Most Valuable Teammate (MVT) Award for 2H2025, to discuss his transition from a technical expert to a full-spectrum engineering leader, and the role of organizational culture in fostering that growth.

Can software engineers solve the riddles of Cost Optimization of their own products? On Jan 9, Money Forward Vietnam (MFV) and Money Forward Japan (MFJ) made history; we launched our first-ever Global AWS Cost Optimization Competition. It was a high-stakes, GameDay-style battle in an AWS-sponsored Sandbox where your mission was just: Optimize or go broke on our product. Special Thanks To AWS TAM for being a co-host as well as a platform sponsor for this program.

Question 1:1. AI can make users more passive or overly dependent on it. What approaches can help individuals maintain critical thinking and self-reliance in the age of AI?2. Generative AI often follows strong logical patterns, which can sometimes lead our thinking in narrow or unintended directions. How can we prevent AI from shaping our perspectives too rigidly?AnswerAI is merely a tool for acceleration, similar to how a calculator speeds up computation without eliminating human mathematical reasoning. To maintain self-reliance, we must shift our role from hands-on implementers to Designers and Validators of the output. By doing so, core critical thinking shifts and focuses on high-level fa
