@luisnegrete
Data Engineer with 7+ years of experience spanning data engineering, business intelligence, and analytics
What I'm looking for
My career has evolved from BI and analytics into modern data engineering, giving me an end-to-end perspective on how data is collected, transformed, modeled, validated, and ultimately used by business and technical teams. I have worked across telecom, manufacturing, financial services, and AI-related projects, supporting both operational analytics and enterprise-scale data initiatives.
My core technical stack includes Python, SQL, PySpark, Databricks, Airflow, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and cloud technologies across AWS, Azure, and GCP. My experience includes modernizing legacy ETL processes, integrating APIs and cloud-based data sources, improving data quality, building reusable data frameworks, and supporting predictive analytics and machine learning workflows. In one of these modernization initiatives, I helped reduce reporting-process time by 75% by migrating legacy workflows into Python, PySpark, Scala, and Airflow-based pipelines.
I hold a Master of Data Analytics from the University of Niagara Falls Canada, completed with distinction. My capstone, “Machine Learning Trading Decision System for SPY Using Technical, Macroeconomic, and Sentiment Signals,” combined machine learning, financial markets, macroeconomic indicators, and sentiment analysis within a rigorous decision-making framework.
Beyond technology, I enjoy working at the intersection of data and business: translating complex requirements into reliable solutions, collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders, and making data easier to trust, understand, and act on.
Bilingual in English and Spanish, with experience working in remote and cross-functional environments across North America and LatAm.
Open to Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, and Data & BI opportunities where engineering, analytics, and business impact come together.
