Summary
Luis Cruz is a Senior Data Engineer with eight years of experience building production-ready data and ML pipelines across Google Cloud and AWS. He has driven end-to-end ETL and orchestration work—optimizing storage with partitioned Parquet files, refactoring research notebooks into scalable runs, and designing ML pipelines that reduced dataset size and improved model performance. At Mercado Libre he combined Python, BigQuery, GCS, Pub/Sub and Go to deliver event-driven services and mentor engineers, and at EPAM he continues to focus on robust data delivery. His background in AutoML research at Universidad de La Sabana gives him a strong grasp of ML modeling trade-offs that inform practical engineering decisions. Comfortable across infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD and observability, he also has hands-on experience simulating complex test environments (in-memory Postgres, Docker-based metrics) to validate data integrity. Based in Bogotá, he blends academic rigour with product-minded delivery and a track record of turning prototypes into stable, automated systems.
