About

Hola! I’m Jordi Villar, a data generalist from Barcelona.

I build distributed data systems that operate at scale. What draws me to this work is understanding how things actually work, whether that’s performance challenges at scale or diving deep into system internals.

What I’ve proven to be good at is translating that deep technical understanding into solving complex problems that move companies forward. I do this with agency: deep ownership over decisions and their outcomes.

Currently, I’m Staff Software Engineer at Tinybird.

Before my current role, I led the data efforts at Kognia Sports, a sports analytics company. Prior to that, I built and led the data science and machine learning team at Smadex, a successful ad-tech company (acquired by Entravision in 2018).

I hold a Telecommunications Engineering degree (roughly equivalent to an ECE, master included) from the UPC in Barcelona.
