Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBorko Kovacev is a Staff Software Engineer based in New York with 11+ years of experience building scalable API and data platforms for startups and enterprises. He has a strong track record designing ETL orchestration, ingestion pipelines, and integrations that combine Snowflake, Airbyte, Django/Celery, and VueJS, while also owning infra-as-code with Terraform, Docker, and AWS ECS. Borko has repeatedly scaled systems to handle millions of background tasks and trimmed operational costs, and he moves comfortably between backend, DevOps, and front-end concerns. He’s led engineering teams and product delivery from architecture through CI/CD and production, and contributes to open-source tooling in the Django ecosystem. A not-obvious strength is his ability to blend hands-on engineering with business-facing product work—having built CRM/ERP and payments flows that directly improved operational workflows and insights.
