Donald Chung

I'm a computer engineering student at UNSW and the lead growth engineer at Habeas. I build products end to end, then sell them, staff them, and keep them alive. Open to full-stack and product engineering roles in Sydney.

What's still open

My first real product answers one question about Sydney at 1am: what's still open? This is the same board, pointed at my own work.

The rare part
isn't the code

I'm a computer engineering student at UNSW, and I can build the thing end to end. So can a lot of people. What's less common is that I've also had to sell it, staff it, and keep it alive once it was out.

I founded a studio and grew it to 110k monthly viewers while managing a team of artists. I led $100k of revenue in my first two months at Snap Wireless, then built the dashboard that team now runs on. That's why Snap Ops exists. I was the user before I was the engineer.

Right now I lead growth at Habeas, where I own the growth cycles end to end and the SEO and GEO content that feeds them. It's the same loop as the engineering, just measured in traffic instead of tests.

Outside that: Events Director at UNSW Golf Society, ex state rower, and a violinist for longer than I've been a programmer.

110k

Monthly viewers at Ruggy Ducky Studios, grown from zero while directing a team of artists.

$100k

Revenue led in my first two months at Snap Wireless, before I built their ops tooling.

40%

Average grade improvement across the students I tutored at Tuita, in physics, maths and biology.
