About

I'm a Data Engineering Manager with almost 10 years of experience in IT, passionate about building scalable data platforms, developing high-performing teams, and transforming data into strategic assets. With a strong foundation in cloud-native technologies and modern data architectures, I've led critical platform modernization efforts — migrating from legacy ETL systems to a modular, scalable framework using Databricks, Delta Lake, and Iceberg. At Sinch, I managed a distributed global team across Brazil and Sweden, driving initiatives that improve platform reliability, reduce costs, and accelerate data delivery to stakeholders. Beyond the technical, I’m deeply invested in growing people and aligning engineering work with business value. I champion best practices in data governance, standardization, and automation, while fostering a culture of collaboration, ownership, and continuous improvement. My experience spans data lake/warehouse architecture, ingestion frameworks, MDM (Master Data Management), pipeline observability, and cross-functional leadership. Whether it's shaping the roadmap, mentoring engineers, or driving architecture forums with senior stakeholders, I bring both a strategic lens and hands-on expertise to move organizations forward through data. Feel free to reach out to me. Let's connect and explore how we can make a difference together!
