CHRIS PEREIRA
I am a data engineer in transition, with 15 years of experience building and operating data pipelines in highly critical environments: defense, public security, and military operations. In the Brazilian Navy, I led ETL and data integration between three military training units, delivering dashboards and KPIs directly to Command-in an environment where wrong data has real consequences. At SuperVia, I analyzed sensitive incident and patrol data that changed operational strategies and reduced infrastructure theft. In the Air Force, I processed crew data for special operations, integrating information between health, mental health, and logistics departments. My differentiator is that I have already operated data where governance and compliance are not optional. Now I am formalizing this in engineering-building an end-to-end pipeline with Python, dbt, and Docker, focusing on Data Engineer positions in the Australian market.
