Summary
Alessandro Binhara is a senior Data Engineer with over 20 years in software engineering and 17+ years focused on Big Data and distributed systems, building cloud-native platforms across AWS, GCP, Azure and OCI. He has led large migrations and cost-performance optimizations—most notably moving a 100+ TB Hadoop data lake from OCI to GCP and introducing Snowflake as a primary delivery layer with zero downtime. His hands-on background spans Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, ClickHouse and real-time computer vision pipelines, and he often pairs architecture work with team enablement through training and curriculum design. Founder and curator of Data Science Summit Brazil and creator of a major Brazilian Big Data hub, he blends community leadership with production-grade engineering. Unusually, his career also includes low-level platform work (porting .NET to IBM Z mainframes and rebuilding lost Java recommendation engines), showing both deep systems chops and practical problem-solving. Open to global opportunities, he focuses on delivering scalable data solutions that produce measurable business results.
