My name is John Duncan. I'm a software engineer based in New York City with 7+ years of industry experience. I have worked at Quorum Analytics since early 2018.

Previously, I was a research intern for the Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief Systems group in the Homeland Protection (now Biotechnology and Human Systems) division at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Massachusetts.

I received a Bachelors of Science with honors in both Computer Science and Philosophy from Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
