Deep experience with ingestion, large-scale ETL and transformation, data modeling, and workflow orchestration
Experience designing data interfaces and contracts and improving quality, freshness, completeness, and consistency
A track record of leading complex technical work across teams, from framing ambiguous problems to delivery and operation
