Hi, I'm Edwin Santos Business Analyst & Automation Consultant
I turn data into profitable business decisions and lead teams that build measurable outcomes. Specialized in SQL, Power Platform, Python, GenAI + MCPs. Working with international teams across the US, Canada and Europe from Lima. Currently pursuing an MSc in Business Analytics at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile — ranked #1 in LATAM.
About me
I'm a Business Analyst and Automation Consultant based in Lima, with a dual background: Mechanical Engineering and Analytics for Business. That mix gives me a particular take on data: rigorous like an engineer, strategic like a business leader.
I currently split my time between three roles. As a Business Analyst at CQ Fluency (New Jersey, USA) I own Power BI dashboards and Power Platform automations. As an Automation Consultant at Wings4U (Prague, Czech Republic) I design low-code solutions and build custom MCPs to power their Customer Advocacy Intelligence stack. And as an Instructor at Universidad San Martín de Porres (USMP) I lead a Power BI bootcamp — 100+ students trained so far.
To sharpen the strategy side, I'm now pursuing an MSc in Business Analytics at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile — ranked #1 in Latin America. My track record includes leading teams that won the HEAD Competition (Mohawk College, 2024) and NASA Space Apps Lima (2021), plus prior BI leadership at Valia (Delaware) and Ove Decors (Montreal). Next step: senior/lead roles where I can grow both the impact and the team.
