About
I’m a senior data engineer and data platform specialist from Brazil with 8+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and optimizing production-grade data platforms. I’ve worked extensively with Google Cloud’s data ecosystem—BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Composer (Airflow)—and I focus on semantic modeling, reliable orchestration, and scalable enterprise data architectures.
In addition to engineering pipelines, I help organizations establish data governance and quality practices using tools like Dataplex, lineage and cataloging approaches, and FinOps-driven observability. I’m also a certified Google Cloud professional, an active technical leader (including workshop facilitation), and an adjunct professor who enjoys translating complex data engineering needs into practical, sustainable solutions for business and engineering teams.

Designed, built, and optimized scalable production data platform pipelines using Dataform, dbt, and data modeling techniques (including Star/Snowflake concepts). Delivered robust ETL/ELT workflows for both batch and streaming, improving platform efficiency and cloud performance while tracking FinOps metrics. Led automated monitoring to track pipeline health, data lineage, and compute cost. Championed data governance practices, metadata cataloging, and data quality frameworks using GCP tooling (including Dataplex), maintaining critical ingestion/transformation pipelines for high availability. Also modernized BigQuery data warehouses and developed semantic layers and Looker/LookML explorations for BI deployments.
Data engineering specialist building and optimizing production-grade data platforms. Designed and deployed scalable batch/stream ETL/ELT pipelines using data form, dbt, and data bricks; applied star/snowflake modeling to transform raw pools into analytics-ready datasets. Automated complex workflows to maximize platform efficiency, cloud performance, and FinOps metrics. Led data governance adoption with metadata cataloging and data quality frameworks using GCP tooling (DataPlex). Designed and modernized enterprise data architectures and BigQuery data warehouses for tier-1 corporate clients. Spearheaded implementations of core GCP data technologies including BigQuery (performance tuning), Dataflow, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Composer; created semantic layers, explores, and managed Looker/LookML-based BI deployments.
