Katherine Finn Zander

@katherinefinnzander

Data Engineer at TOTVS - RD Station, maintaining production ETL/ELT pipelines across cloud and legacy environments.

At TOTVS - RD Station, I design and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines using Python, Apache Airflow, DBT, BigQuery, Hive, and NiFi. I monitor and optimize production workflows so data delivery remains stable for analytics and business operations.

At Hype Empreendimentos, I contributed to migrating on-premises architectures to AWS cloud-native data platforms and developed pipelines across raw, silver, and gold data layers. Earlier, at Fluency Academy, I moved from Data Analyst to Data Engineer, developing ETL pipelines and building Power BI and Metabase dashboards.
