Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Stangl is a Lead Software Engineer with 17 years of experience building high-throughput distributed systems and backend platforms, currently driving streaming infrastructure at Disney Streaming from Missouri. He brings deep Scala expertise alongside Go, TypeScript, functional libraries (ZIO, cats), and cloud-native tooling across AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, and CI/CD pipelines. His career includes architecting financial transaction processors at Capital One scale, large-scale agricultural data pipelines processing tens of millions of acres, and Bayesian MCMC model calibration—demonstrating comfort with both data-intensive ML workflows and mission-critical transaction systems. A long-time mentor and reviewer, he consistently elevates team quality through code reviews, pairing, and automation of deploys and testing. Not obvious from titles: he blends low-level systems experience dating to firmware and C/C++ with modern cloud patterns, giving him a rare perspective on performance, reliability, and cost tradeoffs.
