Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Choi is a Director of Technology with two decades of hands-on software experience and a proven track record leading cloud-native IIoT and web/mobile initiatives from concept to production. Based in Kowloon, he blends low-level C/C++ systems expertise—evident from contributions to the Ogre3D engine and Android platform support—with strategic product and DevOps leadership across AWS, DigitalOcean and on-prem environments. He has built and scaled microservice-based IoT products, instituted GitLab-driven GitOps workflows, and led engineering teams to deliver white-label and client projects. Known for introducing CI/CD, containerization, and code-review cultures, he pairs pragmatic engineering with strong architectural judgment. An interesting through-line is his cross-domain fluency: 3D graphics, machine learning infra, blockchain payments and game engines, which helps him translate diverse technical constraints into cohesive product roadmaps.
