• Develop batch and streaming pipelines using Apache Beam on Cloud Dataflow.

• Design, optimize, and maintain BigQuery datasets, SQL, partitions, clustering, and cost‑efficient query patterns.

• Develop and operationalize BigQuery ML (BQML) models within analytics workflows.

• Manage environment‑aware configuration using YAML across DEV, CERT, and PROD.

• Provision and manage GCP infrastructure using Terraform (GCS, BigQuery, IAM, CMEK).

• Own and extend GitHub Actions pipelines for build, test, and multi‑environment deployment.

• Apply GitHub Copilot to accelerate development, testing, and code review.

• Lead or support schema evolution and BigQuery DDL migration efforts.

• Python (type hints, clean modules, conventions)

• Apache Airflow

• BigQuery (SQL, DDL, performance, cost optimization)

• BigQuery ML (training, evaluation, inference)

• Google Cloud Platform (GCS, IAM, Composer, Dataflow, CMEK)

Proficient:

• Apache Beam

• Terraform (IaC modules, lifecycle management)

• GitHub Actions (CI/CD, artifacts, multi‑env deployment)

• YAML‑based configuration management

• GitHub Copilot / AI‑assisted development

Nice to Have

• Artifact registries (e.g., Nexus) and deployment orchestration tooling

• CMEK‑focused security and encryption patterns

• Large‑scale BigQuery schema evolution and migration experience

• Lakehouse architectures on GCP

• Cross‑repo or multi‑team platform engineering experience

• Integrating BQML models into automated Airflow pipelines
