  • Optimize database performance through query tuning, indexing strategies, partitioning, and caching to support analytical workloads.
  • Team & Project Support

  • Collaborate with data analysts, client stakeholders, and company leadership to improve data workflows, provide guidance, mentorship, and training, and drive continuous improvement in data practices.
  • Qualifications :
