• Serving as the primary point of contact for "accepting" completed stories and ensuring they meet the team's definition of done.
• Assisting in the delivery of data pipelines and products by balancing technical debt with immediate client value.
• Identifying opportunities to streamline workflows, improve team velocity, and resolve technical blockers in real‑time.
