• Translate requirements: Meet with business and department leaders, convert needs into technical specs and wireframes, and deliver on an Agile cadence.
• Model Maintain governed semantic layers with certified metrics, conformed dimensions, and hierarchies; support star/snowflake schemas on Snowflake, Databricks, or equivalent.

• Validate: Source-to-report reconciliation and regression testing to keep metrics accurate and consistent.
• Support Tableau: Dashboards using LOD expressions, table calculations, parameters, and action filters; extract optimization and Tableau Server/Cloud publishing and permissions.
• Lead: Mentor junior developers, set BI standards, and document architecture and data lineage.
