About me

Professional focused on data, cloud and BI

Data Engineer at Babel, where I build end-to-end ETL processes with Azure Data Factory and SQL Server and develop Power BI dashboards for financial and industrial clients while completing an MSc in Data Science (UCM, September 2026).

Before moving into data engineering, I spent 4 years at BBVA Technology developing batch and online financial applications on high-availability critical systems, working with DB2/SQL databases holding millions of records.

Outside work, I design and operate real data infrastructure: a 24/7 ingestion pipeline capturing +320,000 records per day on a Linux VPS, and end-to-end ML pipelines with LLM-based agents. My background in industrial engineering gives me a systems-thinking approach to data architecture.
