Summary
Esteban Donato is a Head of Big Data with 11 years of experience building and leading high-performance data engineering teams across Latin America and the US, currently based in Argentina. He has scaled data platforms that process petabytes of event data, improved pipeline development velocity by orders of magnitude, and cut infrastructure costs while implementing robust data governance, observability, and incident management programs. Esteban excels at turning messy, large-scale data ecosystems into discoverable, cost-attributed, and production-ready assets, having documented owners for the vast majority of data resources in previous roles. A hands-on engineering leader, he has grown remote teams, introduced catalog and observability tooling, and driven measurable reductions in time-to-detection and time-to-resolution for data incidents. His background combines deep technical roots in distributed systems and big data with an MS in Data Mining & Knowledge Discovery, giving him both the research-informed perspective and the operational rigor to deliver reliable analytical platforms.
