Great Team

Hi, my name is Chong Jin Chun and I’m a team manager.

I started my career at DHL IT Services back in 2007, when I took a role as Senior Software Engineer in the Customer Service team.

Gaining more hands-on experience with Solution Architecture has always fascinated me, so from there, I moved fast through the company ladder and soon landed a Principal Architect role.

In 2019, I moved to a management role, being Team Manager.

Together with the strong support of a multinational & diverse team, we are working on our common ambition – technology.

Looking forward to having you onboard!

DHL is an equal opportunity employer.
