Starkaður Hróbjartsson is a Senior Data Engineer based in Zurich with 11 years of experience building scalable, end-to-end data solutions across manufacturing, energy, and enterprise domains. Currently at Climeworks, he focuses on production-grade data pipelines and analytics, drawing on prior consultancy work where he delivered IoT real-time processing in Azure, PySpark/Databricks pipelines, and Delta Lake architectures. He has deep practical experience in data quality, ELT design for large CRM and ERP transformations, and applying computer vision for automated quality assessment in industrial settings. An ETH Zürich alumnus who has taught and improved academic emulation software test coverage, Starkaður blends rigorous research-level discipline with hands-on engineering. He’s comfortable moving between cloud platforms, machine learning prototypes and robust production systems, and brings a pragmatic approach to simplifying complex data integration problems. Notably, his background ranges from web and database optimizations for maritime energy management to architecting near-real-time industrial monitoring—evidence of both technical breadth and operational focus.
