Summary
Rafael Barbosa is a Staff Analytics Engineer with 13 years of experience turning complex data into product improvements and actionable insights across marketplaces, fintech, and Web3. He blends deep academic training—a PhD in Computer Science focused on SCADA/network security—with hands-on data engineering and analytics leadership at companies like Vinted, Moralis Web3, WeTransfer and Tiqets. Rafael has led teams building end-to-end data platforms, instrumentation for A/B testing, ETL pipelines, and traffic attribution, and he is comfortable working from raw logs and S3 to user-facing features. His background in industrial control network research and incident response gives him a pragmatic security-aware perspective on data systems that isn’t obvious from typical analytics resumes. Colleagues rely on him to connect product questions to measurable experiments and robust data infrastructure, balancing rigor with product velocity.
