Summary
Álvaro Lemos is a Senior Data Engineer with 11 years of experience who blends a software engineering mindset with deep data expertise to deliver tested, automated, and well-architected pipelines across finance, retail, and telecommunications. He’s built reusable frameworks to standardize team delivery, led complex projects like bank client segmentation and retail demand-forecasting pipelines, and previously developed ML solutions for oil & gas and telecom.

An experienced technical interviewer, he has shaped hiring processes while mentoring teams and scaling offshore collaboration. Based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, he brings both academic depth (MSc in Computational Intelligence from UFMG) and pragmatic production experience, including a knack for avoiding inefficient Spark patterns like RDDs and UDFs.
