About me

Hey! I'm Jose Andres 🚀

Bachelor in Computer Science. I have a strong interest in data, cloud, and AI, always looking to learn new technologies. I like tackling challenging problems with data solutions and ensuring they deliver real value.

I’ve worked in Data Engineering. Building and maintaining pipelines that transform complex data into valuable information. By ensuring data is well-structured, clear and reliable. This has helped executives in making data-driven decisions while ensuring accurate customer-facing reports for companies like OpenAI, Airbnb, and Microsoft. I've also developed internal reports that offer a holistic view of business data, covering key insights, performance analytics, team engagement, billing, contracts, and other critical areas.

I believe that strong teamwork and open communication lead to the best solutions. I enjoy collaborating across teams, sharing knowledge, and supporting others in their growth. Seeing the impact of good collaboration is something I truly value.
