Work

  • I am now working as a software engineer at an incredible early stage startup in Sydney. It’s still in stealth so unfortunately I can’t say more but I find the product and platform to be incredibly interesting. Public launch in July/August.
  • It’s time to lock in and build something amazing.

Life

  • After four years together my girlfriend and I broke up in late April. We still love each other very much and want the best for one another, but we both came to understand that we are decidedly not what the other person needs in a life partner. This is by far the most amicable and sweet breakup I’ve ever had. And it’s almost confusingly pleasant and uneventful. I have enormous respect and gratitude towards my partner for being so levelheaded through all of this and for working together to navigate a way through this as a team so we can hopefully remain good friends in time after all is said and done.
  • Duan is moving out in late May — what shall I do? Where shall I go? Times of destruction and change are also times for reinvention and renewal.
