  • Knowledge Transfer: Design a lightweight documentation framework (e.g., Confluence or Markdown-based docs) that the team can easily maintain moving forward.

  • Technical Stack: Proficiency in [SQL Server, AWS Lakehouse Architecture].
  • Expert-level ability to create clear architecture diagrams.
