• Implement Snowflake Bronze → Silver → Gold layer transformations: incremental loads, SCD Type 2, and fact/dimension modeling aligned to business requirements.
• Write and optimize T-SQL against SQL Server for performant source extraction without disrupting operational workloads.
• Maintain pipeline monitoring, alerting, and error recovery — pipelines support 24/7 revenue operations and uptime matters.
