Build & Automate Scalable Dashboards: Conceptualize, build, and maintain robust reporting pipelines and interactive dashboards from scratch to monitor cross-channel operations.
Maintain Data Integrity & Queries: Write clean, efficient SQL queries, manage automated data transformation scripts in Python, and collaborate with engineering/data platform teams on database hygiene and lineage.
