  • Analyze and produce artifacts such as Source-to-Target Mapping documents.
  • Build pipelines that bring together data from everywhere—whether it’s RDBMS, APIs, JSON, or flat files—creating a seamless flow of information.
  • Define the "Source of Truth" using tools like Python and ETL software to clean, integrate, and transform data into a single, reliable resource the whole company can trust.
