Summary
Lucas Rosa is a Principal Data Engineer based in Lisbon with 15 years in data and software engineering and a decade in senior delivery roles, leading end-to-end data platform builds across cloud and on-prem environments. He architects and ships scalable ETL frameworks and data pipelines (Azure/Databricks, AWS, Hadoop) while mentoring teams, running sprint ceremonies, and raising engineering standards through code review and process improvements. His hands-on background spans Spark (PySpark/Scala), Delta Lake, Kafka, Snowflake and Databricks migrations, plus API and infra work in Java/Spring Boot and Terraform—bridging data engineering and software development. Notable for replacing legacy notebook ecosystems with robust ETL frameworks, he also teaches Data Engineering modules on batch and streaming processing. He combines delivery-focused leadership with deep troubleshooting skills from earlier database and BI roles, making him effective at translating business use cases into production data products. Fluent in both technical design and team enablement, he’s equally comfortable sketching architectures with architects or rolling up his sleeves in code reviews.
