Data engineer optimizing large-scale cloud data platforms for business impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a data engineer with six years of experience building and optimizing scalable big data infrastructure, grounded in an Industrial Engineering background. I focus on cloud-based ETL, data lifecycle management, and delivering measurable cost and performance improvements.
At BBVA I led a multi-country migration to AWS, coordinating a three-phase strategy and handling migrations of over 30,000 tables and 500TB of data. My work reduced operational costs by 40% and accelerated model development and training tenfold.
Previously at AT&T I consolidated and automated reporting using SQL, Power BI, and Tableau, providing real-time insights to 1,500+ sales stakeholders and cutting manual reporting effort by 60%. I also led data audits that ensured regulatory compliance for over 3,000 sellers.
I combine technical skills (PySpark, Spark, Snowflake, BigQuery) with strong problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration to deliver reliable, production-ready data solutions that improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
