Zhen Hoe Yong’s Summary

I enjoy working with people with diverse skill sets and personalities to bring complex, time critical projects to fruition while utilizing minimal amount of resources. Although I am familiar and comfortable with various development tools, I recognize that there are people far better than I am. Hence my focus has always been in understanding how to work with the experts while having a good grasp of the basics.
