Kent Chong
Data Analyst & Full Stack Developer at Gruda · Coach at LEAD
Structural engineer. RM24 million property closer. AI builder. Kent brings an unusual lens to data and automation. He’s seen the problem from the ground up, literally. Now he coaches professionals and corporate teams to turn data into decisions.
Started out designing structures for the MRT Line 2, now turns company data into decisions. He is part of the team behind BINGO, an AI analytics platform that does an analyst’s week of work in minutes.
“AI is the greatest equalizer of our generation. It empowers ordinary people like us to build extraordinary things.”
Kent on AI — and who gets to build
Life with AI
Days of EDA. Now, seconds — then judgment.
Before
He used to spend days on EDA — figuring out which KPIs were worth presenting, writing queries and formulas, and thinking through how to turn datasets into a meaningful dashboard. Most of the time went into building the analysis.
After
With AI, the entire EDA process takes seconds. It generates dozens of KPI ideas and even writes the calculations and SQL. Instead of spending most of his time building the analysis, he focuses on deciding which insights actually matter.
Flagship case study
BINGO — an analyst’s week of work, in minutes.
Building BINGO (thebingo.ai) with his team has been one of the most meaningful journeys he’s experienced. BINGO is an AI analytics platform built to help businesses turn data into actionable intelligence — not just charts, but automated insights and strategic recommendations, like an on-demand virtual data scientist.
Behind what people see today: months of hard work, unexpected problems, and moments where things did not go as planned. Those challenges never stopped the team. Every obstacle became a chance to learn, improve, and build something better.
He’s also shipped full client websites in about a month end-to-end — concept to deploy — without a traditional IT background. That same path is what he coaches: lower the technical gate so ordinary people can build what used to need a whole team.
In the classroom
Hands-on AI for people who already lead.
What he teaches
Hands-on training and strategic mentorship in AI automation, data engineering, and analytics — tools that show up in real workflows.
Who he trains
Corporate professionals, mid-to-senior and management executives, and industry leaders from multinational corporations.
What sticks
Non-IT learners building and deploying their own sites for their business — work that used to mean hiring a developer for thousands.
If you’re stuck where he was
Don’t underestimate your own possibility.
What limits us often isn’t ability — it’s not taking the first step. What matters isn’t where you are now. It’s whether you’re willing to learn, try, and push past your own ceiling. AI won’t replace you. It will leave behind people who won’t use it.
