BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I am a data engineer and analytics leader with five years in data engineering, three years as a data analyst, and one year leading an analytics engineering team. I specialize in designing and optimizing high-performance ETL/ELT pipelines across Azure Data Lake, Databricks with SQL and Pyspark
I have implemented medallion architectures (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and migrated legacy/mainframe systems to cloud data lakehouses using Databricks, Data Factory, Delta Lake, and CI/CD pipelines. I focus on query performance tuning, automation, and operational reliability.
In leadership roles I drove pipeline refactoring, automation (Databricks Jobs + ADF triggers), monitoring with Power BI, and hiring to scale capability. My efforts produced measurable gains: increased automation by ~40%, reduced customer discounts by 22%, and improved customer retention.
