About Me

Professional bits

Hello. My name is Dean Wan.

I am a software engineer located in Melbourne, Australia.

I am backend focused. These days I work mostly in Golang, but have previous experience with Ruby (including Rails).

I used to work in the data and analytics space (what some might now call a data scientist).

I gave that up because I wanted the satisfaction of seeing my work having a direct and obvious impact.

Now I write code that directly and obviously infuriates my colleagues.

Q: Why does your site look so rubbish?

A: I genuinely despise writing HTML and CSS. I'll get around to styling this website properly one day.

Q: Why is your Github handle fugu-chop?

A: I don't know. Not everything has a reason.

Q: Why is your site named so?

A: I thought it was funny.

PS: I've no real advice for mitigating production incidents. Maybe don't write any code.
