What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can modernize finance reporting with automated ETL/ELT, dimensional modeling, and dashboards—translating FP&A and controllership needs into reliable analytics that drive decisions, reduce close time, and strengthen governance and risk visibility.

At TOTVS, I built Python/SQL ETL pipelines consolidating 8 financial sources across 60+ business units, cutting monthly close time from 4h to 15min (87% reduction) and delivering visibility over R$20M/month in project revenues. I also shipped a Streamlit internal tool that reduced service statement response time from 20-30min to near-zero and cut Zendesk ticket reopenings by 50%.

10+ years in accounting, auditing, and FP&A gives me an edge in domains where data accuracy and auditability are non-negotiable.

Stack: Python (Pandas, Polars), SQL, Power BI, Looker Studio, Streamlit, dbt, Supabase, Git/GitHub. English C1.

Looking for remote IC roles where finance and data overlap: fintech, SaaS analytics, FP&A tooling, or revenue operations.
