Max Barati - Data Engineer | Data Analyst

About

I Engineer the Backbone of Data-Driven Decisions.

I’m a junior data engineer with a Master’s degree in Digital Skills for Sustainable Societal Transitions, from Politecnico di Torino, Italy. I enjoy turning messy data into clean, usable structures and building pipelines that make information actually reachable. During my Master’s, I worked on projects that forced me to think critically, take ownership, and deliver solutions under real constraints — not just on paper.

I’m comfortable diving into problems, breaking them down, and figuring out how to move from idea to working implementation. I adapt quickly, work well in fast-moving environments, and collaborate tightly with teams to keep projects on track. My goal is simple: grow into a reliable engineer who builds data tools and workflows that have real impact.

Principles

How I like to work.

  • Lead with clarity

    Every engagement starts with the outcomes, constraints, and signals that matter most.

  • Ship in loops

    Short delivery cycles keep stakeholders engaged and turn complex programs into momentum.

  • Design for trust

    Reliability, observability, and governance get the same attention as shiny new features.

  • Leave teams stronger

    Documentation, pairing, and internal enablement make success sustainable after handoff.

Let's build

Have an initiative that needs momentum?

I'd love to learn about your roadmap, surface opportunities, and co-design a plan that pairs fast delivery with reliable insight.
