Summary
Tiago Macedo is a software team lead and engineering specialist with 16 years building scalable, high-availability backend and data platforms across startups and enterprise teams. He combines deep hands-on experience in backend systems (Scala, Java, Ruby) with modern data engineering at scale (AWS, Databricks, Spark, Delta, dbt, Terraform), having led migrations from Redshift to S3 data lakes and built automated MLOps pipelines. As a founding data hire at GrowUp Farms and prior lead roles at Gousto and comparethemarket, he repeatedly delivers medallion architectures, robust ingestion patterns, and pragmatic operational controls. He’s comfortable across the full stack of data infrastructure—streaming, batch, storage and orchestration—and brings a history of shaping teams and processes as much as code. Based in London, Tiago also co-authored a Redis cookbook and has a practical bent for solving performance and reliability challenges in production.
