About Jose

Los humanos somos imperfectos al tomar decisiones bajo estrés, y yo no fui la excepción. Después de que errores costosos en el trading financiero me enseñaran esta lección a las malas, descubrí la solución: construir sistemas que proporcionen datos limpios y fiables para fortalecer la toma de decisiones. Esa revelación me transformó de trader a constructor.

Hoy, combino más de 7 años de experiencia en mercados financieros con conocimientos avanzados de Python y SQL para diseñar y escalar canales de datos integrales e infraestructuras de datos fiables. Lo que comenzó como una búsqueda personal para mejorar la calidad de mis propios datos financieros se ha convertido en la capacidad de transformar y gestionar datos de cualquier tipo con precisión y consistencia.

Mi conjunto de herramientas técnicas incluye Snowflake, Spark, DBT y Airflow, junto con sólidas prácticas de pruebas, control de versiones y automatización. Y lo que es más importante, aplico la disciplina y el pensamiento sistemático aprendidos en el parqué a entornos colaborativos, garantizando que los sistemas de datos no solo sean técnicamente sólidos, sino que también estén alineados con las necesidades del negocio.

Busco oportunidades para contribuir a un equipo donde la ingeniería de datos fiable y el conocimiento del negocio se unan para generar un impacto real.
