About

With 12 years of professional experience in quantitative risk engineering, modelling socio-economic, human and natural disasters and 5 years deploying cloud based processes and data analytics solutions, I bring expert mathematical & financial modelling capacities and end-to-end skills in data engineering projects. Results oriented, with an analytical mind and an eye for details, I am a collaborative and day-one productive asset for: • Deploying and managing cloud resources on Azure, GCP or AWS, • Building ELT/ETL data ingestion pipelines and designing data models, • Engineering batch and real-time data processing workflows, • Creating effective data visualisation tools. I work daily with R, Python, SQL, PySpark & Scala, dbt, Databricks, and other modern data tools as Power BI or Airflow. I'm also trained and experienced with DevOps and agile CI/CD methods. Let us connect to discuss what I can bring to the project and the team!
