Summary
Borislav Kapukaranov is a Tech Lead in Data Engineering with 14 years of experience building and optimizing high-performance server runtimes and data-driven recommender systems. He transitioned from developing core enterprise runtimes at SAP—including work on NetWeaver, Eclipse Virgo for HANA Cloud Platform, and the HANA XS Engine—to leading data engineering at Adcash, where he applies Hadoop ecosystem tools like Spark, Druid, HDFS and Hive to improve ad tech performance. He combines deep systems-level knowledge with practical data science skills, architecting scalable pipelines and production recommender systems. Based in Bulgaria, he holds a master’s in Information Retrieval and Knowledge Extraction, bringing a research-minded approach to real-world engineering problems. A pragmatic tinkerer, he’s comfortable moving between kernel-level runtime concerns and large-scale analytics to squeeze performance out of both infrastructure and models.
