Edmerson Low

Software Engineer, Photographer, and a Nerd

Hello there 👋

Hi, I'm Edmerson Low Soon Xiang, a junior at Nanyang Technological University studying Information Engineering and Media. I'm passionate about using technology to solve problems and build useful software. I'm currently based in Singapore.

I specialize in backend engineering, and I'm fascinated by financial investing, which I explore during my free time. I also enjoy teaching and sharing knowledge with others.

In addition to technology and finance, I pursue photography as a hobby. Check out my work at my photography website.

I also enjoy experimenting with

and learning new technologies.

If there's any opportunity for collaboration or anything else, please email me at lowedmerson@gmail.com or elow012@e.ntu.edu.sg.
