Summary
Oscar Montañés is a Sr Data Engineer based in Montevideo with 11 years of experience building data platforms and products for education and enterprise clients across Latin America and the United States. He blends hands-on data engineering—Snowflake, Fivetran, Airflow/Prefect, DBT, AWS and Python—with product-oriented thinking from roles as a Technical Product Manager and IT Director. His background includes leading national education IT transformations, delivering an ERP and a payroll migration, and designing the COVID-19 vaccination data platform that informed public policy. He consults on information systems for the Inter-American Development Bank and top universities, bringing both strategic diagnostics and hands-on pipeline implementation to regional projects. Known for integrating diverse sources (IoT, CRMs, national education platforms) into robust warehouses, he focuses on turning messy operational data into actionable dashboards. Beyond engineering, he pairs academic research in educational measurement with product delivery—making him equally comfortable with statistical tools and production-grade pipelines.
