Senior🎓
Top SchoolNevelina Aleksandrova is a lead engineer in the UK with 12 years of experience building and modernising web and business-critical systems across public and private sectors. She combines hands-on engineering with technical strategy and people leadership—creating distributed teams, establishing incident and delivery processes, and mentoring engineers to grow into stronger contributors. Her background spans full-stack development (notably Python/Django) through technical architecture roles at the Ministry of Justice and product-facing leadership at startups and consultancies. She is active in the tech community, helping organise and speak at events across the UK and internationally, and prioritises people and culture as much as code. Collected from consultancy to running engineering teams, her work consistently focuses on sustainable practices: testing, CI/CD, and pragmatic adoption of new technology.
