AlexisPrado Caceres

Data analyst and data engineer

I take data that lives in spreadsheets, inboxes and separate systems, build the pipelines that clean and connect it, and turn it into dashboards people trust. Industrial engineer by training, based in Cairns, Queensland.

The pattern behind most of my work: raw sources, layered cleaning, a dashboard on top.

From process maps to pipelines

I'm an industrial engineer from Arequipa, Peru. I started in process improvement, mapping workflows in BPMN and hunting waste with Lean Six Sigma, and kept running into the same problem: the data needed to prove anything was scattered across spreadsheets nobody trusted.

So I learned to fix the data too. Power BI came first, then SQL, then Python and data engineering with Microsoft Fabric and Google Cloud. Today I work as a data consultant in Cairns and I'm preparing for Microsoft's DP-700 Fabric Data Engineer exam.

I use AI as a working tool: GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio and Claude for code, and MCP connections that let an assistant work against real client data inside the client's access rules.

  1. Map the workFind out how the process really runs, and where time and errors build up.
  2. Measure itAgree the definitions with the people who own the numbers.
  3. Fix the dataClean and connect sources in layers, so every figure is traceable.
  4. Model and reportBuild the model and the dashboard on top of trusted data.
  5. Automate and hand overRemove the repeat work and document it so the team can own it.

Projects

Two tracks, one habit: start from the business question. Analytics is what people see. Engineering is how the data gets there.
