• Apply a product delivery and change-management framework to ensure seamless deployment and adoption of new integrations, file layouts, or client-driven enhancements
• Author and optimize advanced SQL for data validation, reconciliation (e.g., member counts, coverage spans, accumulator rollups), sampling, and anomaly detection.
