Summary
Felipe Farias is a Senior Data Engineer with 11+ years building scalable data platforms, pipelines and analytics across startups and enterprise teams in São Paulo. He combines deep BI and data-science chops—ETL/ELT, Redshift/Snowflake, Airflow/Prefect, dbt and Spark—with practical ML support, having deployed score models, forecasting (ARIMA/state-space) and real-time dashboards for executive decision-making. Felipe has led data teams, hiring and mentoring engineers, and driven measurable cost and latency reductions (e.g., 35% query cost cuts and sub-10-minute dashboard refreshes). He brings a rare mix of hands-on engineering (data lakes, CDC, Kafka, OCR/PDF extraction) and product ownership, plus HIPAA-aware data-layer design for compliant analytics. An active member of the Brazilian Scala community and a lifelong learner (physics undergrad, multiple MBAs/postgrads), he blends statistical rigor with pragmatic systems engineering to turn messy production data into reliable business outcomes.
