Alex Stansfield is a seasoned technology leader with over two decades of software development experience and a 12-year track record in senior engineering roles across London and Bangkok. Currently Head of Technology at Codeifai, he builds agile, polyglot teams and designs cloud-first, scalable architectures for SaaS products—most recently applying ML to anti-counterfeit and brand protection solutions. He combines hands-on coding roots (contributions to projects like Slim PHP and DynamoDB tooling) with leadership that has migrated monoliths to API-driven platforms and established development centers for Rocket-backed startups. A pragmatic AWS advocate and open source contributor, Alex is as comfortable refactoring stream-processing logic as he is hiring and mentoring distributed teams to deliver measurable cost and performance gains.
