About
I’m Luis Faria, a software and data engineer based in Sydney. For 10+ years I’ve built systems that turn manual, messy processes into automated, measurable products — across healthcare, marketing agencies, and tech.
I led technical projects and delivered custom ERP/CRM platforms for a 20+ clinic healthcare group serving 1M+ client records, then built Konquista, a Django + Celery/Redis automation platform pushing 30K+ WhatsApp messages a month across clinics. After relocating to Sydney, I moved deeper into data and software engineering.
Today I build data systems at St Catherine’s School, Sydney — SQL Server pipelines and Power BI reporting that give staff reliable, decision-ready numbers in a regulated educational environment.
I’m completing a Master of Software Engineering with AI, and I keep the learning applied: secure cloud architectures on AWS, a self-hosted Apache Superset BI deployment, applied machine learning (scikit-learn, CRISP-DM), and LLM tooling on OpenAI and Claude. I build in public — shipping, writing, and sharing the wins and the scars.

Currently
Building data systems at St Catherine’s School, Sydney — SQL Server pipelines and Power BI reporting — while completing a Master of Software Engineering with AI. I keep the coursework applied: secure cloud architectures on AWS, a self-hosted Apache Superset BI deployment, applied machine learning (scikit-learn, CRISP-DM, Spark), and LLM tooling on OpenAI and Claude — much of it open-sourced in my Master’s repo (1,100+ commits, mostly Jupyter notebooks).
What I do
Software Engineering
Full-stack apps and internal systems, designed and shipped end-to-end.
Data Engineering
Pipelines, reporting and BI that turn raw data into decisions people trust.
Automation & DevOps
Removing manual work with workflows, CI/CD, and observability.
AI / ML
Applied ML and LLM-powered tools — scikit-learn models, RAG assistants, and AI-augmented delivery.
