Jose Alexander Palacio Muñoz

Senior Data Engineer with more than 13 years of experience across data engineering, analytics, business intelligence, financial analysis, and data-driven decision-making. I specialize in designing scalable cloud data platforms, ETL/ELT pipelines, analytical data models, and governed data products that transform operational information into reliable business insights. My recent experience has focused on building and modernizing data platforms using Snowflake, dbt, Python, SQL, AWS, GCP, BigQuery, MongoDB, SQL Server, and Power BI. I have designed medallion architectures, incremental processing frameworks, data quality and monitoring solutions, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, source-to-target mappings, and metadata-driven integration processes. I combine hands-on engineering with a strong understanding of data architecture, dimensional modeling, Data Vault, financial processes, analytics, and business operations. This allows me to connect technical implementation decisions with their impact on reporting, governance, reliability, cost, and organizational outcomes. I have experience collaborating with distributed and cross-functional teams, supporting production environments, investigating complex data issues, defining reusable engineering standards, and communicating technical concepts to both engineering and business stakeholders. My professional background includes: • Cloud data platforms and modern data architecture • ETL/ELT pipeline design and orchestration • Snowflake, BigQuery, AWS, and GCP • dbt, Python, advanced SQL, and data automation • Dimensional modeling, Data Vault, and medallion architecture • Data quality, governance, observability, and monitoring • CI/CD, Git, infrastructure as code, and production support • Power BI, analytics engineering, and financial reporting • Technical leadership and cross-functional collaboration I am an Industrial Engineer with specializations in Big Data and Business Intelligence and Finance, as well as a Master’s degree in Software Engineering. I am particularly interested in building reliable data products and platforms that enable organizations to make better decisions at scale.
