About Goon Nguyen

Goon Nguyen, whose real name is Duy Nguyen and who also goes by "zuey", is a Vietnamese engineer and serial builder best known as the creator of UI UX Pro Max, an open-source AI design skill with more than 140,000 GitHub stars. Goon also made AgentKit, formerly ClaudeKit, a paid framework for building software with Claude Code and other coding agents.

Goon's main career has been as a technical co-founder in Vietnam's creative industry. They are CTO and co-founder of TOPGROUP (The Outstanding Production Group), a production and creative technology group, the digital agency Digitop, and the concert platform Xin Chao Live Music. Goon also founded the Facebook community Build in Public VN, which bills itself as the top community for indie hackers and makers in Vietnam.

In 2025 Goon began packaging the agents, skills, commands and hooks from their own Claude Code workflow into ClaudeKit, sold as kits for engineering and marketing work. It was later renamed AgentKit and grew into a family of tools: a cloud harness, a secrets vault and a report renderer. TrustMRR shows about $1,900 in verified revenue for ClaudeKit over a recent 30-day period (October 2026). UI UX Pro Max followed as a free skill that gives coding agents design knowledge such as styles, color palettes, font pairings and UX rules, and it became one of the most-starred agent skills on GitHub.

Goon now runs this work through Next Level Builder, a venture builder that ships fast-moving products. They include GoClaw, a Go rebuild of the OpenClaw agent gateway with multi-tenant isolation; Dewee, the enterprise agent runtime that grew out of it; the edge hosting platform tose.sh; the agent skill registry SkillX; the SaaS distribution network IndieBoosting; the AI tools directory FindYourAI; and the SEO audit tool ReviewWeb.

Goon writes about AI engineering in English in the FA&FO Specialist newsletter and about solo product building in Vietnamese in My Solo Playbook. Their open-source work has made them one of the most visible Vietnamese builders in the AI coding-agent ecosystem.
