Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcelo Simas is a Data Architect and civil engineer with 11 years of applied experience blending transportation research, system design, and software development to deliver production-ready data platforms. Based in Atlanta, he leads Westat’s Databricks-on-AWS initiative (WesLytics), provides Terraform IaC stewardship, and builds tooling and sample projects to accelerate adoption across teams. His background spans GPS-based travel surveys, mobile app releases for Android and iOS, IoT integration, and advanced transportation data modeling—skills grounded in a PhD/MS from Georgia Tech and practical consulting work since the late 1990s. He combines academic rigor in traffic and travel behavior with hands-on engineering, having architected end-to-end pipelines and custom data-processing stacks that avoid commercial GIS dependencies. Known for translating complex research requirements into audited, automated systems, he brings both technical leadership and a developer’s curiosity to large-scale analytics programs.
