• Use Azure services (e.g., Azure SQL, Fabric, Logic Apps, Function apps) to orchestrate and operate cloud-based data workflows and integrations.

• Monitor data and pipeline health (job runs, failures, data quality checks), troubleshoot issues, and drive root-cause analysis and long-term fixes.

• Collaborate with engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to translate business requirements into data models, ETL jobs, and ADO pipeline changes.

• Continuously assess and improve database, ETL, and pipeline standards, introducing best practices around version control, testing, and deployment.
