AWS Data Engineer at Provana supporting six production pipelines and standardizing infrastructure across four projects.

Colombia
Message

At Provana, I design and evolve production AWS data platforms, supporting six pipelines across three clients. I created reusable CloudFormation templates and deployment scripts that reduced new-project infrastructure setup from more than a week to 1–2 days, with patterns reused across four projects.

At Neostella, I designed and maintained AWS pipelines that integrated third-party APIs and operational systems into analytics-ready datasets. Earlier at Materialise, I built an end-to-end AWS ETL and analytics platform with Terraform and developed Python, SQL, and PySpark workflows for a cardiac research team.
