José María Sánchez Salas is a Computer Scientist who has focused his career on data engineering after working in different fields such as software and backend engineering. As a remote data engineer, he has specialized in IoT platform architecture, approaching platforms as an operating system for sensors: designing sensor onboarding workflows, real-time data processing, and the ETL pipelines that turn device signals into usable data.

Originally from Spain and later based in Norway, José has first-hand experience with the realities of remote data engineering, from work routines and stakeholder communication to job searching and hiring across borders. He shares what he learns on his data engineering newsletter, a publication known for takes that leave no one indifferent. For him, writing is both a learning tool and a way to translate complex technical work for a broader audience while building professional visibility.
