- Apply dimensional modeling best practices, including SCD Types 1,2, and 3, to support historical tracking and data governance.
- Leverage S3, Glue, Athena, and Redshift to architect reliable, scalable, and high-performance data solutions.
- Collaborate with data engineering, analytics, and business stakeholders to advise on end-to-end solutions from strategy to architecture.

Preferred Additional Skills:
- Experience evaluating how partitioning strategies, file sizing, and columnar formats like Parquet impact query performance and compute costs.
- Experience in data catalog architecture, with a deep understanding of how schema evolution impacts downstream systems.
