Data Solutions Architect

As a data solutions architect on the data governance team I’ve focused in on designing systems that will foster shared understanding, improve business processes, and make cross-department collaboration easier. This has involved: - Wearing many hats from data governance, data modeling, data analysis, data science, data architecture, data engineering, qa, operations, process/ systems engineering, product ownership/management, and more. - Managing and designing syncs between business and operations data entities to create a single source of truth allowing for standardization as well as laying the foundation required for rapid growth as an organization - Acting as a design authority for data modeling and metadata management processes - Quickly synthesizing and conveying complex topics to a wide audience in a visual format to ensure all stakeholders are aligned - Stepping in as a SME, team lead or project manager where needed on strategic initiatives - Developing KPIs that deliver actionable insights regarding work prioritization and ensuring all business units are aligned with our core business objectives. - Building quick POCs in a Jupyter Notebook environment to automate repetitive tasks and enable non-technical members of our commercial teams with the data they need to be successful.
