Design and implement efficient data models and integration patterns across Oracle and PostgreSQL environments to support enterprise analytics and reporting.
Develop and optimize C#-based data services and APIs that interact with relational databases and enterprise data platforms.
Build, maintain, and optimize scalable data pipelines using Azure Data Factory for ingestion, transformation, and loading of structured and semi-structured data.
Configure, enhance, and support Microsoft SSIS packages for complex data integration and transformation processes.
Develop advanced PL/SQL procedures, functions, and packages that support business logic, data validation, and high-volume transactional processing.
Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize end-to-end data workflows across Oracle, PostgreSQL, Azure Data Factory, and SSIS environments.
Collaborate with architecture and application teams to develop secure, scalable, and compliant data solutions aligned with enterprise standards.
Create and maintain technical documentation, data flow diagrams, process documentation, and operational procedures.

Implement data quality controls, validation checks, reconciliation processes, and governance standards that support regulatory and business requirements.
Translate Life & Annuities insurance concepts, including policies, premiums, claims, and reserves, into scalable data models and reporting solutions.
Support deployment planning, release validation, production monitoring, and operational support activities within a day-shift environment.
Communicate effectively with technical and business stakeholders through design discussions, project updates, and issue-resolution activities.

Advanced experience with Azure Data Factory, including pipeline development, orchestration, scheduling, and parameterization.
Strong experience developing and maintaining Microsoft SSIS packages and enterprise ETL workflows.
Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL administration, performance optimization, and query tuning.
Strong C# development experience building data-centric services, APIs, and integration solutions.
Experience designing and implementing scalable data integration and transformation architectures.
Strong understanding of data governance, data quality, security, and compliance practices.
Experience working with enterprise cloud and hybrid data environments.

Exposure to cloud-native analytics and reporting solutions on Azure.
Experience working within Agile delivery environments.
Knowledge of responsible AI, metadata management, and data lineage concepts.
