In my time working under Thong, it is clear that he is a manager who is technically inclined and is able to manage his team efficiently. When faced with problems, he is able to work closely with cross function team leaders, suppliers, and his team of engineers collaboratively to solve critical issues. I would recommend Thong as his diverse skills in engineering and management is hard to find. It has been a pleasure to be mentored and guided by him.
