- Data Architecture & Modeling: Design scalable data models, schema structures, partitioning strategies, and data quality controls to ensure reliable and efficient data consumption.
- DevOps & Operational Excellence: Implement CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform and GitHub Actions, ensuring maintainable and supportable solutions.
- Production Support: Troubleshoot data quality, performance, and operational issues while driving long-term reliability improvements.
