Rodrigo Karim G.
Senior Data Engineer & Architect | Tech, Business & Human Behavior
Most data engineers can write code and connect APIs. But building a data architecture that actually drives business decisions requires understanding the human behavior behind the numbers. With over 14 years of cross-functional experience, I specialize in designing scalable data pipelines and dashboards that turn raw, messy data into clear, actionable business insights. My background is atypical but highly effective: I combine the technical rigor of an Electronic Engineer, the strategic vision of an MBA, and the behavioral insights of a Psychology degree (currently in my final year). This unique mix allows me to go beyond just moving data from point A to point B. I understand the business logic, the financial metrics, and the user behavior you are trying to measure. π₯ Core Expertise & Tech Stack: Data Engineering & Architecture: Google Cloud Platform (GCP), BigQuery, SQL, Python. ETL/ELT Pipelines: Fivetran, Airbyte, Weld, custom API integrations. Data Transformation: dbt, Dataform. Data Visualization & BI: Looker Studio, Google Sheets, Pandas/Plotly. π Professional Journey Highlights: My experience ranges from acting as a Chief Data Officer (CDO) for software companies to managing complex international operations (including 3 years based in Shanghai, China). I have a proven track record of optimizing architectures, automating workflows, and building data cultures from the ground up. Whether you need to set up a robust data warehouse from scratch, fix broken ETL pipelines, or design dashboards that your stakeholders will actually use, I can help.
