Who am I?
My name is Bruno Lima, and I’m a Lead Data Engineer & dbt Tech Lead at phData, a consulting company recognized as dbt Partner of the Year for two years in a row.
I’m also the only Latin American to receive the dbt Community Award in both 2023 and 2024, one of the most prestigious global recognitions from dbt Labs, awarded annually to just 10 people worldwide for impact, leadership, and community contribution.
Over the past few years, I’ve:
Helped implement scalable data modeling solutions across industries and enterprise-scale projects
Taught hundreds of professionals how to use dbt in practice
Spoken at Coalesce, dbt Labs' flagship conference
Led in-person dbt meetups in Brazil (São Paulo and Florianópolis)
Created a growing base of dbt-focused content on LinkedIn
I'm also a guest instructor in Zach Wilson’s Data Engineering Course, one of the most respected educational programs in the field.
