[Video]: What is L-Tron?

Viet is L-Tron’s Senior Platform Developer, aka Creative Extraordinaire. When he’s not developing software or our website, you can find Viet creating something on his 3D printer or spending time with his daughter. 

Fun fact, Viet is the development brains & the heart and soul behind 
OSCR360, which was actually named after Viet’s dog, Oscar.

Meet Viet – Here he is solving a Rubics Cube.

Oscar has been working alongside Viet at L-Tron for 5 years. Oscar inspired the name of the purpose-built Law Enforcement solution, OSCR360.

Before COVID-19, Oscar was Cathy’s favorite lunch buddy and would join her in the kitchen every day.

Oscar will gladly greet you at the L-Tron office entrance (when it is safe to travel again).
