Mauricio Benegas

Senior Data & AI/ML Platform Engineer

I build production data platforms and the engineering foundations that reliable analytics, ML, and AI systems depend on.

8+ years across healthcare, fintech, e-commerce, and marketing. Hands-on individual contributor focused on Python, SQL, cloud data platforms, orchestration, data quality, reliability, and production-ready ML/AI infrastructure.

Selected work

Production systems, not slideware.

US Healthcare

Large-scale marketing & analytics data platform

Built and operated Python, SQL, Airflow, and BigQuery pipelines processing billions of records weekly. Owned reconciliation, data-quality controls, backfills, SLA reliability, monitoring, and performance/cost optimization.

  • Production orchestration and reliability
  • Data-quality and reconciliation controls
  • High-volume cloud analytics workloads
Fintech · LATAM

Financial and customer analytics platforms

Built Snowflake and BigQuery models and pipelines with dbt, Airflow, Python, and SQL for financial, customer, marketing, and ML-facing use cases across Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia.

  • Dimensional and analytical modeling
  • Incremental ELT and orchestration
  • Data products supporting analytics and ML

Open to the right build

Hands-on Data Platform, MLOps, AI Platform, and ML infrastructure work.

I work best in autonomous engineering roles with clear ownership, strong written communication, and more time building than sitting in meetings.
