Alexander Bolaño Cervantes
About Me
I'm Alexander Bolaño — Senior Data Engineer & AI Engineer based in Bogotá, Colombia, with 6+ years building data systems and AI-powered solutions for companies across LATAM and the US.
My path is unconventional: petroleum engineer → teacher → Senior Data Engineer without a master's degree. That pivot — from 1× to 24× salary — is what drives my work today.
What I bring to the table:
- End-to-end data pipelines, lakehouses, and AI agent systems (AWS Bedrock, Airflow, modern data stacks)
- 🏆 1st Place — Mage Battlegrounds Global Hackathon (130 teams, 15 countries)
- AWS Community Builder & Honorable Mention at the AWS Lambda Hackathon
- Udemy instructor with 1,900+ students | 19 published technical articles
- Founder of PivoteaTech — salary intelligence for LATAM professionals
How I can help you:
- Architect or review your data infrastructure
- Build AI agents and automation pipelines
- Mentor you on breaking into data engineering or negotiating your next salary
- Freelance data engineering for your product or startup
