Business, data and delivery.

Álvaro Picatoste explaining a metrics model on stage
dbt Meetup Barcelona · From signals to insights

I help organisations turn operational complexity into structured initiatives, scalable data products and tools people actually use.

Since 2016, across energy, EV charging, IoT telemetry and global supply chains, I have worked with business stakeholders, product managers and engineering teams to define KPIs, structure requirements and translate messy, high-volume operational data into business value.

My technical foundation — Python, SQL, dbt, Databricks, Snowflake, and tools such as Streamlit, Tableau and Power BI — lets me engage fluently with technical teams while keeping the focus on business needs, feasibility and adoption. I come from energy engineering, with MSc degrees from UPC Barcelona and KTH Stockholm.
