• Strong practical experience with Google Cloud Platform, including deep expertise in BigQuery.
• Advanced SQL skills with a proven ability to design semantic models and curated data layers.
• Experience developing integrations and pipelines through APIs, ingestion frameworks, or ETL processes.
• Hands-on familiarity with BI and reporting platforms such as Looker Studio, Tableau, or comparable tools.
• Solid communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical teams and business functions.
• Demonstrated success in ambiguous environments where processes, models, and standards must be built from scratch.
