Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoberto Zagni is a Principal Consultant and senior data architect with 13 years of experience building cloud-native data platforms and turning data teams from firefighting units into product-oriented organizations. He combines hands-on engineering (dbt Core/Cloud, Snowflake, Kafka, Avro, AWS) with leadership roles from head of data to scrum master, shaping processes, tooling and team culture across medium and large enterprises. He authored the first practical book on dbt and Snowflake, reflecting a product-owner mindset and a Software Craftsman approach to reproducible pipelines and engineering discipline. Notable achievements include delivering near real-time GDPR-compliant pipelines, a multi-channel marketing execution platform, and tools that simplified Avro schema management for 100+ developers. Based in Lombardy, Italy, he pairs multidisciplinary experience—from military platoon command to general management—with a pragmatic focus on reliability, observability and developer empowerment.
