Duleepa Wijayawardhana is better known as "Dups" to most of his friends and has a penchant for writing biographies about himself in the third person, like Caesar in Asterix and Obelix. This has absolutely nothing to do with his dreams of world domination or ruling the skies with an airforce of Zeppelins.

Dups is the CEO and Co-Founder of Empire Avenue Inc. where he's helped to create an economy completely around what you do online, like Facebooking, Twittering or as here, sharing photographs. He's had the pleasure of working for some of the coolest companies in the world, such as BioWare Corp. now a label of Electronic Arts and MySQL AB, now a part of Oracle Corporation. He's most proud of having worked with the coolest, most awesomest people in the world.

Dups is proudly Canadian and is quite happy to list himself as an adopted Newfoundlander where he feels most at home amongst that rocky-island's craggy shores. Along the rather weird path his life has taken, he's had the pleasure of calling the following countries as one-time residences: Sri Lanka (where he was born), Papua New Guinea and Hong Kong (before the handover to China). In Canada he's managed to find homes in St. John's (Newfoundland), Kelowna (British Columbia), Edmonton (Alberta) and Montreal (Quebec).
