Summary
Yoong Chow is a Senior Data Engineer based in Singapore with a decade of experience designing and operating cloud-native data platforms. He has led complex cloud migrations and unified diverse data sources at the Singapore Tourism Board using a broad AWS stack (Redshift, Glue, EMR, SageMaker, Airflow, etc.), bringing research-grade rigour from his NUS Urban Analytics Lab work into production. His background spans customer data platforms, data engineering for analytics and ML, and hands-on pipeline building with PySpark, Airflow and BigQuery, giving him fluency across both engineering and product-facing data needs. Yoong pairs an MS in Artificial Intelligence with earlier software and product leadership roles, which helps him translate business requirements into scalable architectures. He’s comfortable deploying in restrictive environments—an outlook shaped by projects that demanded privacy-aware, multi-environment CDP deployments. Pragmatic, research-informed, and product-minded, he excels at turning messy data into reliable, auditable pipelines that power insights and ML.
