I'm Steven Salazar and I'm a Software Engineer focusing on Cloud and Data Engineering. Currently, I am working as a Data Engineer at Quandoo GmbH, my main duty is to maintain our current data pipeline to ingest and process data related to new potential clients. In the last 6 months, I have positively contributed to the optimization of our existing pipeline in terms of costs, time execution, scalability and maintainability.
The technologies that I usually use can vary depending on the business requirements, however, we always respect our Cybersecurity and Compliance policies, which sometimes can be difficult for a Financial entity.
