Summary
Rex Low is a Head of Technology with a decade in software engineering and six years focused in FinTech, leading cloud-native payment and e-money platforms from Kuala Lumpur. He combines hands-on engineering—building payment microservices in Go, GRPC and modern ML-backed eKYC systems—with strategic responsibilities like achieving PCI DSS Level 1, aligning to Bank Negara Malaysia requirements, and partnering with Visa. Expert in Kubernetes-driven architectures, multi-cloud deployments (AliCloud, AWS, GCP, HuaweiCloud) and cost optimization, he also drives MLOps and in-house OCR/identity solutions using Python, OpenCV and PyTorch. Known for scaling high-performance, elastic payment and eCommerce systems, he’s equally comfortable mentoring teams, defining IT policy, and advising enterprise clients on secure, compliant infrastructure. An interesting thread through his career is translating government and regulated requirements into production-grade code and CI/CD pipelines that balance speed with auditability.
