• Establish and promote best practices in data governance, data modelling, coding standards, and solution architecture across projects.
• Act as the primary technical escalation point for complex solution design and implementation challenges while effectively managing client expectations.
• Lead research, innovation, and technical upskilling initiatives to ensure the engineering team stays current with emerging technologies, modern cloud platforms, and evolving data engineering practices.
