Summary
Federico Aguirre is a Staff Data Engineer based in Mexico City with two decades of hands-on experience building and scaling data platforms across streaming and batch ecosystems. He has led data architecture and engineering efforts using Airflow, Snowflake, Flink, Kafka, Spark and cloud storage on AWS, driving initiatives from real-time payment integrations to data lake foundations and blockchain POCs. As a tech lead and company team lead he combines deep DBA and backend roots with practical leadership—mentoring teams, coordinating cross-functional projects, and defining data governance and ingestion standards. His background spans both high-level architecture and low-level hardware/integration work, reflecting early experience in electronics and GPS device integration that still informs his systems thinking. Fluent in both Spanish and English-driven projects, he thrives in environments that require bridging legacy systems with modern cloud-native data stacks. Notably, he often pairs operational pragmatism (ETL, security, Flyway/DataOps) with exploratory proof-of-concepts to accelerate business outcomes.
