BrazilWhat I'm looking for
Senior data engineer with seven years turning operational data into trusted, cost-efficient analytics for e-commerce and education companies. I own platforms end to end: ingestion, warehouse modeling, orchestration, semantic layers, infrastructure and cost.
Recent work: moved core pipelines to an asset-based orchestration model (Dagster) for better reliability and freshness; co-led the architecture of a natural-language analytics product over governed metrics, connected to the data catalog and AI agents; led Airflow adoption and its move to infrastructure-as-code cloud hosting; led a semantic layer initiative for governed self-service BI; ran a Snowflake cost-optimization program.
Earlier, I led a data engineering team, set dbt, Airflow and Amundsen as standards, and migrated on-premise data services to Google Cloud.
I also built JurisRadar, a legal-tech SaaS, from multi-tenant backend to frontend and deployment. My Economics degree shapes how I weigh cost, value and priority.
