Summary
Alexander Stefanov is a Lead Data Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience designing and migrating large-scale data platforms, currently leading data engineering at Apex Group in Sofia. He has driven cloud migrations from AWS to Azure, transformed Alteryx workflows into production-grade Airflow DAGs, and re-architected DBT orchestration to improve reliability and save roughly $1M in operational costs. Comfortable across the stack, he blends ML/NLP experience—building roBERTa-based sentiment models and semantic search—with robust ETL, Airflow, and data visualization work for multinational clients. A former university full-stack developer and teaching assistant, he pairs practical production engineering with a knack for mentoring and onboarding new engineers. Fluent in German and English, he brings an analytical, research-informed approach to ambiguous business questions, favoring useful approximations over false precision.
