Top SchoolSoemin Tjong is a Principal Development Lead with 11 years of experience (and over two decades in engineering) driving platform, networking, and cloud innovations at Microsoft. He has led teams that shipped everything from a widely deployed Bluetooth-based car infotainment stack and reliable data-center automation to Universal Print for cloud and hybrid environments. His strengths span low-level drivers and protocols (NDIS, 802.11, Bluetooth, TCP/IP) through distributed systems and web technologies, combining hands-on coding with strategic product leadership. Comfortable in startup-like, "co-founder" roles as well as large-scale corporate programs, he brings an engineer-first mindset to solving hard integration problems across hardware, edge devices, and cloud. Unusually, his career blends deep telecom/embedded networking expertise with recent cloud printing and IoT gateway modernization—making him adept at bridging legacy device ecosystems to modern cloud platforms.
