About João Salomão

Work Hard. Have Fun. Make History. Data professional with 9+ years solving problems across industries. I’ve built analytics and reporting infrastructure, modeled data, and helped organizations make better decisions with the information they have and to acquire information when they needed. Currently at Amazon Business as a BIE doing GTM Engineering. Very focused on GenAI analytics, data modeling, and building systems that scale, helping to manage a global $50B+ business. I care about learning continuously, building things that work and using technology to solve real problems. Trying to leave the world a better place. I write about applied data skills, how I use AI to deliver more in less time (engineer version), business analytics, and a curated list of what I\'m still learning along the way.
