• Define solution architecture and detailed design, and perform hands-on implementation for
• Data pipelines for batch and event driven ingestion and processing of data from a variety of sources such as on-prem files, on-prem databases, APIs, etc.
• data pipelines for real time data ingestion and processing
• Automatic transpilation of legacy code (HIVE, Teradata, python logic etc.) to BQ SQL.
• BQ query performance optimisation.
• CI/CD pipelines for data workloads using Cloud Build, Artifact Registry, Terraform
• Data governance solutioning using GCP governance tooling (Dataplex, Data Catalog)
