About

What I build

I build data platforms on Google Cloud that people actually use: BigQuery warehouses with a governed semantic layer in Looker, pipelines that are observable and cheap to run, and AI agents grounded in the organization's own data. I have done it for a travel group, a food-delivery marketplace and travel-tech companies, and since 2025 through Coabana, my data studio. I work in English and Spanish, remotely from Montevideo.

Projects

What I have built, as cases: the problem, the build, the stack and where it stands. Most of this code is private; the Coabana site tells the rest.

In production

AI agent for Looker developers on BigQuery

Coabana · 2025–present

An agent that lives inside Looker as an extension. From a request in plain language it produces a complete LookML project — views, explores, models, Looks and dashboards — validating every step against Looker and BigQuery, diagnoses existing dashboards and answers questions over the semantic layer, acting with the permissions of the user who asks. A Python agent on Google ADK on Cloud Run, the MCP server of the next card, and a React extension served by Looker; in production at a reference installation.

MCP server for the Looker API

Coabana · 2025–present

A Model Context Protocol server for the Looker API, open to any MCP client — an agent, Claude, Gemini or a developer's IDE — built for production rather than for a demo. Ten tool groups, from queries and explores to LookML, git and administration; per-user sessions that keep each developer's dev mode where they left it; the same tool names and capabilities as Google's MCP Toolbox for Looker, with folders, administration and content updates and deletes on top; and gates that refuse the irreversible operations unless they are explicitly enabled. It is the Looker arm of the agent above and runs beside it on Cloud Run.

Looker administration toolkit

Coabana · 2025–present

Plan-then-apply administration of a Looker instance: users, groups, roles, folder permissions, user attributes, schedules and content. Every write is previewed as a plan before it is applied, every write command has a real dry run, and the same operations are exposed as a CLI and as an MCP server for agents.

Cost audit agent for Google Cloud

Coabana · 2026

A Google ADK agent that explains a change in Google Cloud spend from the billing export: trend, breakdown by service, SKU and project, gross and net of credits, whether an anomaly is price or volume, and the evidence behind it, down to the BigQuery job or the dbt commit that changed a model's cost. Every figure in its report is labeled real, validated price or estimate.

Looker at scale on BigQuery

Viajes El Corte Inglés · 2022–present

Organization-wide adoption of Looker on a BigQuery data platform: semantic models and governed metrics, access and cost control, data quality, and AI agents that let business teams explore their data in natural language. Google Cloud end to end.
