Implement business data modeling practices by developing canonical models, semantic layers, and business glossaries that accurately reflect our operating environment, supported by governance and stakeholder education
Operate all core data platforms including our Data Hub (employing the Medallion architecture), Events Platform (e.g. Kafka/Rudderstack), and AI/ML infrastructure, ensuring reliability, cost efficiency, and real-time capabilities
