Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarc Caparrós is a Lead Data Engineer with 11 years of experience building large-scale data ecosystems, currently designing decision-ready platforms for professional sports clubs at Gemini Sports AI. He combines academic rigor—a PhD in Information Systems for Sports and postdoctoral research on spatio-temporal player interactions—with hands-on roles architecting distributed processing, federated data spaces, and high-performance analytics pipelines. His background spans industry and research, from leading big-data architecture projects at Eurecat to operational data engineering for sports startups, enabling scouting, performance, and executive decision-making. Marc is adept at turning fragmented, multimodal sports data into actionable products and is exploring AI as a collaborative “data partner” rather than just a tool. A multilingual engineer based in Cologne, he brings both systems-level design and domain-specific research insights that few practitioners in sports tech possess.
