Congratulations to our Assistant Technical Manager Jam Kuong receiving his first 5 years long service award at GT!!!If you have not met Jam, you can catch him easily with his appearance. He is a tall guy wearing glasses with black skin tone color - undoubtedly he loves outdoor activities and playing with the sun! Jam is well-known as a role model at GT. If you have read his previous talent story, you must know he always craves for new challenges and opportunities, anything that would uplift him. He is achieving what he shared on LinkedIn before: “stay hungry, stay foolish”.Jam started working as a Senior Developer and he described himself as a “pathfinder” at GT. Senior developer is the first role of Jam and the start of his journey at GT. He started to get in touch with cloud design and opened the gate of DevOps. He is now the Assistant Technical Manager focused on managing the DevOps field.“GT is full of challenges and opportunities.” he shared sincerely. Jam often encounters new challenges, some are unchartered territories. He always takes the lead in taking care of the new challenges. “HSBC was my first cloud project and the first public launch project in my GT life. I started participating in handling virtual bank projects and projects related to DevOps in the later period. As time goes by, I dared to say that GT teammates are positively affecting each other by learning and sharing in a good manner. We always learn something new together at a fast pace. To clarify a little bit more, I am not initiating the projects but I always welcome and enjoy finding a way out for the projects with my teammates.” Jam shared sincerely. “It is a healthy circulation for all of us who want to improve and become more well-equipped when we are pitching to the clients,” said Jam.<img src="https://gt-terraform-web-s3-prod.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/Jam_1_9900875217_52a53e895d.jpeg" alt="Jam_1_9900875217.jpeg" srcset="https://gt-terraform-web-s3-prod.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/thumbnail_Jam_1_9900875217_52a53e895d.jpeg 208w,https://gt-terraform-web-s3-prod.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/small_Jam_1_9900875217_52a53e895d.jpeg 500w,https://gt-terraform-web-s3-prod.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/medium_Jam_1_9900875217_52a53e895d.jpeg 750w,https://gt-terraform-web-s3-prod.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/large_Jam_1_9900875217_52a53e895d.jpeg 1000w," sizes="100vw">Jam loves the flexible environment at GT. He said GT Group was a well-structured ecosystem with business units across different areas which were closely connected to our everyday lives such as Timable, Hong Kong Movie and Hotmob. “When we open a door for new projects there are systemic procedures we take. Firstly, we locate the problems, then move to ideation stage before proposing solutions to each idea,” he said. “I enjoy the process of completing a project working here as you can see from my growth path. Imagine this is a game, I am competing with many big bosses. To complete the task, I must win the game. You will get many chances to play different games here.” Jam emphasized.Jam’s greatest achievement at GT is receiving his first Cloud certificate, he is the first one who pioneered to take the exam. This is how he began to be a certificate collector and now he is a “tutor” at GT, he is passionate about sharing his knowledge to the others. Since then, he has built a habit of renewing and taking different tests to collect certificates in the web world. “Thank you to my team heads, they are very supportive so I can stay focused when I am preparing for the examination,” he said wholeheartedly.Moving to a new office was a milestone for GT as well as the most impressive experience to Jam. He witnessed the growth of GT and he deserved to enjoy every victory moment with GT. “I hope that GT will become the BIG5,” Jam expressed his wishes and expectations. He will keep learning and improving himself to create a better GT with his teammates, and the story of Jam will be continued.How about you? What do you want to achieve in 5 years time?
