  • Design dashboards, visualizations, and infographics (Tableau, Tableau Prep) that make complex data actionable
  • Package models as reliable services and operator-focused dashboards (MLOps)
  • Build schemas and data models; query relational, graph, and search databases
  • Consult with customers to clarify analytic requirements and recommend data-driven solutions
  • Brief technical and non-technical audiences; produce reports, decks, and user documentation
