Le Tuan Anh first encountered computers when he was eight years old when his father bought a computer for his family to use. From there, the student's journey to pursue his passion officially began. Tuan Anh shared: "The time my father let me use the computer every day was only about 30 minutes, so every time I use the computer, I am very careful. When I go to school, I want to come back quickly to explore the world inside the computer. The feeling is very hard to describe, during my first year of high school, I spent time every day exploring more things on the internet and computer. And I always feel that the world up there is so interesting and so many things are waiting for me to discover.”

With that passion, Tuan Anh has step by step created many technology products and projects and won 50 different big and small prizes in competitions from the school level to the provincial level. Tuan Anh said: “One of the memorable milestones for me in 6th grade, I started to try blogging with many different contents such as computer tips, programming tips, distractions, etc. The result exceeded my expectations when my blog reached 4 million views and culminated in the top 2000 websites with the most visits per day. I also started to have a large income from placing ads on my blog.”

To achieve their current achievements, during his studies, Tuan Anh always gives himself the opportunity to grow up and have more new experiences. The boy from Quang Tri gathered 10 friends with the same passion for information technology to form KB2A Team.

In particular, the most prominent is KB2A Tool (a tool to help users filter virtual friends, and delete friends simultaneously on social networks) with more than 100,000 users. Tuan Anh confided that, through KB2A, you have gained a lot of valuable experience in the process from ideation, and design to project announcement to everyone.
