Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIgnacio Isla is a Senior Data Engineer contractor based in London with nine years of experience building scalable, resilient data platforms that drive measurable business outcomes. He blends analytics and software engineering expertise—shipping Snowflake, DBT, Airflow and Terraform-based architectures while partnering closely with stakeholders to define metrics and translate insights into revenue-impacting actions. At Hippo he scaled a model ecosystem of 500+ models serving over a million users and designed robust third-party exchange pipelines with strong quality controls; at Phlo he built the data stack from scratch and directly contributed to a 60% reduction in CAC and markedly lower churn. Comfortable across cloud providers (GCP, AWS) and SQL-first tooling, Ignacio is increasingly applying GenAI to accelerate decision-making and reduce manual analysis. A background in electromechanical engineering and a Master's in Data Science give him a systems-thinking approach that helps uncover non-obvious levers for product and growth.
