• Stay engaged across the project lifecycle to support developers, answer questions, and ensure successful delivery.
• Act as a liaison between the business and the development team- helping manage expectations, identify risks, and escalate blockers where needed.
• Contribute to consistent integration design practices aligned with architecture standards and internal governance.

• Proficient in SQL, comfortable writing queries, analyzing datasets, and understanding relational data structures.
