Daniel Palma is a Head of Data & Marketing with a decade of hands-on data engineering experience, currently leading data initiatives at Estuary while founding Areca Data and advising PortfoLion. He has progressed from engineer to manager across international teams in Brazil, Hungary, and the US, shipping production data pipelines and Snowflake-compatible dbt models. An active open-source contributor, his work on the dbt_artifacts package improved metadata modelling, ingestion of seed/snapshot executions, and cross-platform DDL hygiene—demonstrating an eye for observability and reproducible pipelines. Comfortable at the intersection of technical delivery and growth, he blends product-minded marketing with deep engineering craft and a curiosity that produces both "useful and useless" experimental projects.
