• Pipeline Orchestration: Manage complex ETL/ELT processes using MS SQL, Python, CloudWatch and AWS Glue to ensure seamless data flow between CCaaS applications, IVR logs, WFO databases, and the data lake.
• Data Governance & Quality: Establish and enforce rigorous data governance and security standards, ensuring sensitive customer interaction data and PII are handled with the highest level of compliance.
• System Optimization: Continuously monitor and tune Athena query performance and Snowflake clusters to balance cost‑efficiency with the speed required for contact center decision‑making.
