Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeremy Kong is a Software Engineer at Palantir Technologies in London with ten years of experience building backend systems and distributed-database APIs. An Imperial College M.Eng. graduate who topped his cohort, he brings strong algorithmic rigor—demonstrated by top finishes in ICPC and UKIEPC contests—and practical C++/Java implementation skills honed in high-pressure team settings. His internships at Google and Palantir involved applying machine learning to search relevance and extending production interfaces to distributed stores, reflecting a blend of research curiosity and production-first engineering. He also teaches first-year computing courses at Imperial, conveying complex ideas in logic and algorithms to new students. Unusually, his contest work emphasized single-machine teamwork strategy as much as coding, shaping a collaborative approach to solving constrained, high-stakes problems.
