ABOUT JONATHAN SCHWARZHAUPT

Your company has data everywhere, but you\'re still making decisions in the dark? You\'re not alone. Most businesses sit on goldmines of data trapped in disconnected systems, leading to manual work, errors, and missed opportunities. Hi, I\'m Jonathan. I\'m a Senior Data Engineer who turns data chaos into competitive advantage. Over 2.5 years at a consultancy, I\'ve helped companies unlock their data potential without breaking the bank. While others push expensive \"big data\" solutions, I believe in pragmatic engineering: the right mix of open-source tools (DuckDB, dbt, Airflow) with smart CI/CD that actually works. Recent wins: Built a complete data platform for <€10/month using Docker, dbt, and Azure Storage (client wanted Microsoft Fabric) Connected 36 medical clinics into one unified reporting platform on Azure Synapse Created custom middleware syncing 5K employee records between legacy and modern HR systems My path here wasn\'t traditional. I discovered my passion for data engineering during my Masters in Barcelona, pivoting from management to tech. Since then, I\'ve been obsessed with solving business problems through elegant technical solutions. I specialize in: Data platform design and architecture Cloud strategy and implementation (Azure) ETL/ELT pipelines with Python, SQL, Airflow CI/CD for data workflows Legacy system integration and data migration Having worked across Boston, NYC, and Barcelona, I bring diverse perspectives to every project. I thrive on being thrown into complex challenges and building solutions that bridge the gap between business needs and technical reality. If you\'re drowning in disconnected data or wondering where to start your data journey, let\'s connect.
