• Building and maintaining ETL pipelines in AWS Glue, Spark, and Athena that process modem‑level telemetry, outage events, and customer impact data at scale

• Supporting versioned data product releases: authoring test cases and release notes, coordinating go/no-go decisions with end users, and managing patches through a structured release process
• Integrating data across multiple upstream source systems (AOM, IPDR, Scope, CARS, IRIS, Gisual) to produce unified, stakeholder‑ready outputs
• Investigating data anomalies (nulls, duplicates, missing intervals, unexpected distributions) and resolving them before downstream impact

• Python for scripting, automation, and data validation
