Alvaro Gonzalez

Born in Venezuela and raised in Ireland, Alvaro is a data engineering consultant with over two years of experience in the field.

With a background of four years as an advisor in the financial services industry, he prides himself on his ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders in high-pressure environments. Desiring a more technical role and witnessing the effects that data fluency can have on an organisation led him to pursue a career in data.

In January 2026, he completed a course where he learned to develop and orchestrate ELT pipelines in line with best practice using the following tech stack:

  • APIs: TfL’s BikePoint, Amplitude Analytics, Mailchimp.

  • Languages: Python, SQL, git.

  • Tools: AWS,  Snowflake, dbt, GitHub, Kestra.

You can find his data and analytics engineering project portfolio on his GitHub profile. He is currently working towards achieving the dbt Developer Certification.

As a consultant data analyst, Alvaro is a certified user and has a track record of using Alteryx, Power BI and Tableau in client engagements. Previous clients include one of the largest financial institutions in the UK, a private equity fund and top premier league football clubs. Some client engagement highlights include:

  • Delivered 7 projects for a private equity firm that used Alteryx and/or Power BI to automate external client reporting for stakeholders across three global regions. These projects saved the business an estimated +200 hours annually.

  • Delivering 2,500+ hours of curated Power BI training for one of the UK’s largest financial institutions with an average audience rating of 4.7/5. 

  • Developing a suite of Power BI reports that enabled an adoption initiative within one of the UK’s largest financial institutions where colleagues could earn Credly badges to recognise their data skills learning progress. This initiative saw engagement from 3,000+ colleagues.

  • Developing Power BI reports that enabled economists at a UK financial institution to monitor the UK property market to inform business decisions and forecasts.

  • Leveraging PowerQuery to completely automate a data refresh process which had previously taken 5+ hours a week.

  • Developing Tableau dashboards for Premier League football clubs that informed decisions surrounding player performance and transfer market activity.
