• Develop dimensional, normalized, and hybrid models appropriate for BI reporting solutions and analytical workloads.
• Work with stakeholders to ensure data pipelines, marts, semantic layers, and reporting datasets are accurate, governed, and understandable.
• Establish patterns for data quality, lineage, governance, cataloging, retention, and access control across reporting and analytical platforms.

AI-First Data Enablement

• Apply an AI-first mindset to data architecture by designing data structures, metadata, retrieval patterns, and governance models that support machine learning, generative AI, search, and automation use cases.
• Identify opportunities to use AI-assisted tooling to improve data modeling, documentation, quality analysis, anomaly detection, reporting, and operational efficiency.
• Ensure data architecture decisions support secure, explainable, and auditable AI-enabled workflows.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Collaborate with principal architects, software architects, engineering leads, product managers, and operations stakeholders.
• Review data-related designs, migrations, pull requests, and implementation plans for architectural alignment and operational readiness.
• Mentor engineers and database practitioners on data modeling, database optimization, caching, warehousing, and reporting best practices.
• Create clear architecture documentation, standards, diagrams, migration plans, and decision records.
