Welcome · Bem-vindo · Bienvenido 👋
Data engineer · team lead · global speaker
Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I build data platforms, lead a data engineering team, teach Databricks, speak at community events and write about what I learn along the way. Look around, and say hello if something sparks an idea.
I'm from Brazil. I grew up there and studied Naval and Oceanic Engineering at UFRJ in Rio de Janeiro. My career started at sea level: satellite images, ocean temperature and currents, and a research stay at NOAA in Miami. Working with all that data pulled me into analytics, BI and, in the end, data engineering.
On 2024 I moved to Barcelona, where I worked at Glovo, a food delivery app, then I worked as a data engineer at isolutions, teach Databricks, speak at conferences and meetups, and write about what I learn. This site is where it all comes together.

I like building data platforms that people can trust and that I can explain, from ingestion to the dashboards and models people actually use.
Medallion lakehouses with PySpark and SQL on Fabric and Databricks, batch and streaming, from raw ingestion to curated, analytics-ready layers.
Data quality monitoring, lineage tracking, row-level security and cost control, so downstream data scientists and BI analysts work on a foundation they can defend.
Azure DevOps and Terraform pipelines, version-controlled deployments across dev, test and prod, automated tests and release gates.
Led the cost analysis of both platforms and the migration, with Azure Data Factory orchestration, ADLS storage and an executive dashboard tracking warehouse spend.
Built the monitoring system and dashboard, with near real-time Slack alerts when event propagation failed.
Open-source work you can read and run. Client work stays with the client, so this is where I build in the open.
A small pipeline that runs on a laptop. It collects job ads from public European APIs, uses local models to classify them and extract facts, and matches them against your CV, which never leaves your machine. Every step emits OpenLineage events, every table is plain Delta Lake, and governance (data contracts, retention, privacy scrubbing, lineage-driven erasure) is built in rather than bolted on.
A sanitized, reusable template for running AI coding agents against Microsoft Fabric and Azure DevOps, with layered agent context and a dry-run-first safety model.
Scripts to acquire and process satellite image data, from my oceanography research background.
Python scripts to download and combine BRAN ocean reanalysis data from THREDDS servers.
Where you can catch me next. Past talks, with slides, are on the talks page, and organisers can find my sessions on Sessionize.
Practical write-ups on Medium, and short news notes on LinkedIn.
Happy to talk about data strategy, architecture, Fabric or Databricks, speaking, or mentoring.
