Introduction

Headshot

Hi and welcome. I’m Paulo—a freelance Data Engineer with over two years of professional experience. While working as a data engineer and analyst, I continuously expanded my skills through hands-on projects and online courses in data engineering, data science, and AI. One highlight was earning my Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate credential.

My academic background sharpened my critical-thinking muscles: evaluating research papers, mastering research methods, diving deep into statistics and econometrics, and training me to draw precise, evidence-based conclusions. Combined with business, finance, and marketing know-how, I’m knowledgeable about what organizations want from their data.

I can tackle projects on an end-to-end—databases, APIs, or web-scraped data—extracting, transforming, and modeling into automated, reliable pipelines, then delivering clear, actionable insights. My toolbox includes Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse, Python, and more; I adapt quickly to your existing workflows and tools.
