• Help improve coding, testing, version-control, and documentation practices for the production of data pipelines, analytical datasets, and related workflow tools.

• Design data assets and interfaces that are explainable, documented, and reusable across front office teams, while reducing manual spreadsheet-based processing and redundant logic.
