Description

I am a Data Engineer with more than 15 years of experience building reliable ETL pipelines on scalable cloud native infrastructure.

I help organizations defining and developing a data strategy and provide support in the design and implementation of data-driven processes to support the business using modern technology.

// Building a solid foundation that enables the customer to execute their data strategy //

Requirements engineering

Understanding customer needs and business requirements and translating them into infrastructure and software is one of my core competency used throughout the lifetime of every project. My focus on the essential core value proposition provides value to the customer early on.

Building data driven backends

I thrive on building new things from scratch, contributing best practices from previous projects and experience on how to design, build, deploy and operate data processing software and infrastructure.

Enabling teams

I support and enable teams to efficiently build and operate data-driven processes. Sharing knowledge and best practices on designing and implementing reliable ETL processes and required infrastructure components is part of my daily routine.

Using technology

Having worked on more than 20 projects allowed me to learn and use a broad variety of tools and services to design and build data-driven backend processes. This understanding helps me in choosing the right tools and technologies for the task given.
