Ryan Duong

San Diego Native, Startup Founder, Design-Focused Product Manager, SDSU MIS Graduate, and 5x Intern (Previously @ Walmart & Qualcomm).

Currently, I am building Mocktalk, a product that offers tech job seekers an effective and independent way to practice their interview skills. Most days, you’ll find me deeply involved in studying what makes the world’s best products successful.

Outside of my day-to-day work, I’m also absorbed in technology, design, fashion, architecture, and other creative pursuits.
