Hello,
I'm Chenming Yong and currently working as a Senior Engineer for the biggest semiconductor manufacturing company in Singapore. I specialise in building big data pipeline architecture and productionizing data science use cases. Currently actively involved in migration and integration of on premise solutions (Hadoop) with cloud infrastructures (GCP, AWS, Azure, Openshift). I lead various technical projects and am involved in actual development as well as reviewing overall technical architecture developed by my team members. Besides that, I also conduct a lot of coaching sessions for new hires and worldwide team members (e.g. US, India, China, Taiwan, Singapore and Japan) on various job-related technical topics such as development, integration, monitoring, deployment and support.
I also hold professional certificates such as Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect, Google Cloud Certified Professional Data Engineer and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner to further improve my skillsets.
I hope my professional work experience as well my passion in cloud engineering will be able to solve some of the issues you are facing!
Have a great one!
