I had the pleasure of working alongside Kong Chor at PlayStation, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most talented and dependable professionals I’ve had the privilege to collaborate with. Kong brings an exceptional combination of technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and a team-first attitude to everything he does. His proficiency in JS/TS stacks and his ability to quickly grasp the nuances of complex systems made him an indispensable asset to our team. Beyond his technical skills, Kong stands out for his collaborative and supportive nature. He’s always willing to lend a hand, share insights, or help other team members. I highly recommend Kong to any team or organization looking for a skilled and dedicated software engineer. He will undoubtedly make a lasting impact wherever he goes.
- Rutger HuijsmansNeat Lead Engineer
When I joined Neat I had limited experience with web development and JavaScript. Luckily, I had Chor on my team! Chor is extremely experienced in JS development and he's a very patient person. Despite the pandemic he made the effort to commute to once everyday to teach me the ins and outs of Neat's system face to face. He truly enabled the team to excel technically. He inspired us to use the best technologies for the job and explained them when needed. I hope to work together with Chor again in the future.
