Murilo Reis Cork City, Ireland Data & AI Specialist

AI and analytics that pay for themselves.

Data & AI Specialist Tableau & Power BI dashboards

About

Hi, I’m Murilo Reis

I’m a Data & AI Specialist who turns messy, real-world data into clear decisions — dashboards, models, and automation that leaders can act on.

I run client engagements end to end through Cork AI Consulting, the consultancy I co-founded, and take on freelance AI & automation work alongside it.

I’ve spent countless hours on agentic AI & automation — building scripts and data products that drive decisions, save time, and cut cost. Example work is showcased across this site and on GitHub.

Notable achievements
  • −80% manual effort for freelance clients by engineering custom Python & RPA automation — from consultation through to end-to-end deployment.
  • Terabytes of data engineered into Google BigQuery through scalable, governed ETL pipelines from disparate sources.
  • Region-wide sales visibility delivered through interactive Tableau dashboards and Playwright automation for a multinational sales organisation.
  • 5 languages spoken fluently, leading stakeholder management across multicultural, multi-regional teams.

Reporting, automation and the data underneath it.

Two engagements, each written up in full — the automation and BI work I do for clients directly, and an AI conversion pipeline built through the consultancy I co-founded. The problem, the approach, and what actually moved.

By the numbers

The work, counted.

Every figure below comes from delivered engagements — dashboards in daily use, pipelines running unattended, hours given back to the people who used to do it by hand.

  • 42+ Data projects delivered
  • 1,900 hrs Manual work automated each year
  • 12 TB Transactional data modelled
  • 5 Languages spoken
Capabilities

What I actually do, and how well.

Self-assessed against the work in the portfolio below — the tools I reach for weekly sit at the top, the ones I bring in a specialist for sit lower and say so.

Analytics

Turning a warehouse of rows into a page someone acts on.

  • Tableau
  • Power BI & DAX
  • Analytical SQL
  • Excel & Power Query
  • Statistics & experiment design

Engineering

The plumbing underneath — modelled, tested and scheduled.

  • Python (pandas, Polars)
  • PostgreSQL & BigQuery
  • dbt & dimensional modelling
  • Airflow & orchestration
  • Web automation (Playwright)

AI & ML

Forecasts and retrieval, evaluated before they ship.

  • scikit-learn & gradient boosting
  • Time-series forecasting
  • Retrieval-augmented generation
  • Prompt & evaluation design
  • MLOps & model monitoring

Delivery

The unglamorous half that decides whether any of it gets used.

  • Stakeholder workshops
  • Requirements discovery
  • Documentation & handover
Toolkit

The tools in regular use.

Not a wish list — everything here has shipped something in the past year.

Consistency

A year of commits.

601 commits across client repositories, internal tooling and this site, 29 September 2025 — 27 September 2026. The quiet columns are holidays — the rest is most weekdays, which is how a pipeline stays alive after handover.

Why trust me with this

No testimonials. Things you can verify instead.

Most consulting sites open with glowing quotes you have no way to check. Here is the version you can actually stand up: where I work, what is live right now, and what I am on the hook for.

  • Day job

    Analytics inside a large sales organisation

    My day job is building and running the reporting and internal systems a large, multi-region sales organisation depends on — the same problem most of my clients have at a smaller scale. Employer details on request.

    See my history on LinkedIn
  • Live now

    Two client engagements in progress

    An architectural practice and a professional-services firm, both under confidentiality agreements. Sector and outcome are all I publish; I can go into specifics on a call.

  • Credential

    Microsoft PL-300 certified

    Power BI Data Analyst Associate — the exam covers modelling, DAX and governance rather than just chart-building.

  • Commitment

    Five hours a week, or you pay nothing

    The AI assessment carries a written guarantee, and the fee is credited in full against a build. A promise you can hold me to is worth more than a quote you cannot check.

Want to hear it from a client rather than from me? Ask on the call and I will introduce you to a current client’s operations lead before you commit to anything.

Experience

Where the work happened.

AI & Data Consultant
Sep 2026 — Present · Cork, Ireland
Cork AI Consulting · Cork, Ireland

The consultancy I co-founded with Douglas Woollam, delivering AI, data and automation work to small and mid-sized Irish businesses — scoped around a measurable outcome rather than a day rate. I run every engagement end to end: discovery, build, validation, and a handover that leaves the client owning what they paid for.

Tools: Python · Claude API · FastAPI · SQL · BigQuery · Cloud Run · Power BI

  • Scope engagements around a measurable business outcome — hours returned, cost avoided, turnaround reduced — agreed before any build starts.
  • Design and ship AI-assisted automation where the model is allowed to decline: confidence floors, validation gates and a human path, because a confident wrong answer costs more than no answer.
  • Hand over with documentation, version control and a named owner, so the client is not dependent on me to keep it running.
