After graduating from high school, with his passion and resourcefulness, Nguyễn Hà Đông applied and chose to study Information Technology at one of the most prestigious universities in Vietnam, Bách Khoa University, Hà Nội. From then on, he devoted all his time to studying and researching technology, especially gaming. By the second year of university, the first result of his study and research helped Nguyễn Hà Đông fall into the top 20 of a coding competition and was trained at one of the only gaming companies in Hà Nội at the time, Punch Entertainment, specializing in game production for mobile phones. In the memory of Mr. Bùi Trường Sơn, the former owner of Nguyễn Hà Đông, this young coder stood out for his speed, skill and independence. However, his shy, modest and talkative personality also left a strong impression on those around him. After working part-time at a gaming company, Nguyễn Hà Đông decided to start a business at the age of 27, at a mature and experienced age, so that he could run a company. That's why, in 2012, Nguyễn Hà Đông founded Gear Studios, a company specializing in the production of smart phone games. Most of the company's products are designed specifically for iPhones. The most successful and famous product of Gear, until now, is Flappy Bird, a worldwide game. Flappy Bird is a side-crawler-style game with objects seen on the side and moving from the left to the right of the screen. In it, the player controls a bird, trying to get through the green tubes without touching them. On May 24, 2013, Nguyễn Hà Đông officially launched Flappy Bird on the iOS 5 free app store, then upgraded to iOS 6. At that time, Đông only hoped to earn a few hundred dollars a month from the ad in the game. He introduced his simple new game with a few lines of tweets. Đông had no other marketing efforts for Flappy Bird. With 25,000 new applications being uploaded to the Internet every month, Flappy Bird was quickly infected. However, 8 months later, the surprise came to the young player. Flappy Bird has spread quickly around the world like a virus. At the end of December 2013, all over the social networks, people cheered, competed, even posted when they broke their phones because of Flappy Bird. There were up to 16 million messages sent related to this game on Twitter. Some people call Flappy Bird the most annoying game, but it can't stop. By early February 2014, in conjunction with the Lunar New Year in Vietnam, Flappy Bird actually became a global phenomenon with 50 million downloads on two apps, App Store and Google Play. About 2 million downloads per day attracted about 47,000 reviews on App Store, as well as popular apps such as Evernote or Gmail. Flappy Bird has really become a global trend.

What's special is that Flappy Bird is popular in North America, Europe, and more in Vietnam. Flappy Bird makes users who break their phones go crazy because it's hard to conquer. However, most players admit that they are addicted and give high marks to this game. Become the center of the media After the game Flappy Bird became popular, Nguyễn Hà Đông and Flappy Bird became the most popular media. From the world's leading newspapers such as Forbes, Huffington Post, Times, to major and minor newspapers in the country all share that they are hard to approach like this guy who writes this game. In an interview on The Verge on February 5, 2014, Nguyễn Hà Đông shared that he earns $50,000 a day from advertising on Flappy Bird. According to Hà Đông, the reason why this game is particularly attractive to users is because it is too different from most mobile games today and it is an ideal game for players to compete with each other. Starting from here, a series of bad news came to Hà Đông. At first it was rumored that Nintendo could charge 6 billion USD for violating the image copyright of the blue pipes. Or the general tax has begun to pay attention to Hà Đông's income. Some others have questioned that Hà Đông has cheated to reach the top of the App Store. All the above information are biased, not verified, but have caused a lot of controversy for a programmer like Nguyễn Hà Đông. There was a time when he stopped all contact with the media. He has also confirmed more than once on his Twitter account that people are overestimating the success of the Flappy Bird game and that he is overestimating this unexpected fame. Being the center of the media and the success of the Flappy Bird game, Nguyễn Hà Đông suddenly made a shocking decision to everyone from experts to gamers that is to remove the Flappy Bird game from applications. At 2 a.m. on February 9, 2014, Hà Đông suddenly apologized to the Flappy Bird player and will remove this application from the App Store and Google Play after 22 hours. However, there are still some opinions that this is a PR trick of the author of Flappy Bird. However, until about 1 a.m. on February 10, the Flappy Bird game has completely disappeared from the two applications, the App Store and Google Play. In a tweet posted on February 8, 2014, Hà Đông admitted that Flappy Bird was a success, but it was ruining my simple life and now I hate it. Hà Đông also affirmed that the removal of Flappy Bird has nothing to do with legal issues. He will also not sell his soul and will continue to make games. According to the common assessment of the technology world, Hà Đông's removal of Flappy Bird at that time was in the most developing stage is a pity, but this is his right decision. Technicians often have a simple and tight life, they just want to focus on working for their passion. Mr. Nguyễn Anh Tuấn, director of AP Technologies, further stated that over the past time, the media has affected the life of the author too much, so the removal of the game will reduce this pressure. In addition, the removal of Flappy Bird on two applications does not immediately affect the popularity of the game, because the user who downloaded the game to the machine is still playing and can create popularity from advertising. Flappy Bird only really disappears when the user removes it from the machine or does not play anymore.

Nguyễn Hà Đông wrote From 2017, I plan to contribute to some projects of Vietnamese students or anywhere in the world. You just need to send me your projects. It doesn't matter if those projects are good or bad. However, to avoid questions, I will prioritize supporting projects in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, society, community and education.

To all game developers in Vietnam, we are developing stronger than ever. However, we are still distributed by training environments that do not teach us to work and develop together. Myself, I was also very poor while working with others. I think it's time for me to change and it's also time for us to unite. Let's unite and support each other to create better products. I am looking forward to working with everyone and organizing all over the country. This is a very positive move of Nguyễn Hà Đông in aspiring young technology talents, especially in the game industry.

At this talk, Nguyễn Hà Đông shared that, 17 years ago, I only had a computer screen, so I didn't have many stories to tell. I thought I had to change a few things to be successful. What I changed was my maturity. Nguyễn Hà Đông mentioned maturity with the intention of growing experiences in the life of a businessman. Although successful thanks to the fame of Floppy Bird, this is also Nguyễn Hà Đông's limitation because this game has become too big for later games in the UK.
