Hi, I’m Anahí S. Rico Chinchilla. I’m a data engineer with extensive experience designing automated data pipelines, managing complex databases, and integrating large-scale, heterogeneous datasets across global health and environmental programs. I enjoy turning data into reliable insights and building scalable systems that support decision making. I specialize in Python, SQL, ETL/ELT, data modeling, and API development, with a strong background in geospatial data engineering and cross-functional collaboration across UN agencies. I thrive on end-to-end data lifecycles—from ingestion and transformation to validation and delivery—creating reusable modules and robust metadata governance to boost automation and operational resilience.
