Thyago Porpino is a Principal Data Engineer and founding partner with 14 years of experience who specializes in turning messy inputs into production-grade, cost-efficient data platforms. He evolved from a data science background into designing lakehouse and BigQuery-first architectures that serve as single sources of truth for fintech and enterprise analytics. Known for building idempotent, well-tested ETL frameworks and custom monitoring (Airflow alerts, BigQuery observability), he consistently reduces cloud spend while improving uptime and throughput. Thyago pairs software engineering rigor—CI/CD, pytest, modular libraries—with a FinOps mindset to deliver operationally silent systems that minimize on-call load. He also drives cross-functional adoption of MLOps and Feature Stores, translating research models into high-availability services that move business metrics (e.g., LTV, attribution). Based in São Paulo, he combines hands-on implementation (custom Python packages, Dataproc/Spark migrations) with strategic ownership across the full data lifecycle.
