In this article, we want to introduce Cuong Duong, our WordPress Support. When Cuong joined our agency as a Support Specialist in June 2017, we asked him a few questions to get to know him a little better.

Tell us something about yourself …
In my free time, I like to go for a walk. Moreover, I like reading novels. God Father, Three Kingdom, The Water Margin and Lord of the Flies are some of my favorites. I like learning new things. Oh, and I like playing video games.
Cuong’s way to Syde
Before joining Syde, I worked as a freelancer. There I mostly worked on WordPress projects and used BackWPup many times. It’s a really reliable backup solution, it helps me back up things fast, secure and most importantly, it “just works”. One day, I saw that vacancy where Syde informed all users that they’re in need of more developers. “Oh cool”, I thought, and after I sent my job application, I just hoped that Alex would let me in. (Once again, thanks a lot, Alex!) And now I work as a supporter and tester and sometimes in the field of development.
Working remotely at Syde means that I have many colleagues working in other time zones. Sometimes it happens that someone writes something and after six hours I answer. Then I feel sorry about that. And another thing I already thought about many times is how to say “Good Morning” to everyone (due to the different time zones). Mostly, it ends up with “nice day everybody :D” that always fits. Working remotely at Syde gives the possibility to work with other developers and people all over the world. They have strong skills, strong development experiences, and a different culture. All of this helps me to learn so many new things
