ABOUT JEFFREY TAVARES LINHARES
I sit at the rare intersection of Corporate Finance and Data Engineering.With a background in Finance (B.Comm), I don’t just write code—I understand the P&L, the General Ledger, and the business reality behind the data. I spent the early part of my career realizing that manual financial reporting was broken, so I taught myself to fix it.Today, I am an AI Technical Lead at Bell Canada, managing a team of 5 developers. We don\'t just \"maintain\" systems; we modernize them. My team builds the architecture that turns messy legacy data into clean, actionable insights using Google Cloud Platform, Vertex AI, and Python.What I bring to the table- Technical Strategy: Architecting GenAI solutions (Google Gemini) that actually solve business problems, not just science experiments- Leadership: Mentoring developers to bridge the gap between \"working code\" and \"enterprise-grade engineering.\"- ROI Focus: I measure success in dollars saved and hours reclaimed.Core Stack: Python | GCP (Vertex AI, BigQuery)| SQL | GitLab CI/CD | Terraform
