  • Create customer-focused visualizations for engineering and quality teams to investigate fleet, VIN, and software-version issues.
  • Develop alerting solutions for high-priority vehicle and product issues.
  • Establish validation approaches using historical data, controlled testing, domain expertise, and real-world observations where appropriate.
  • Communicate findings, assumptions, limitations, and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Improve model, query, pipeline, and architecture performance, scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
  • Standardize analytical processes and adopt modern Azure-based technologies.
  • Support vehicle and software launches with readiness insights and analytical tools.
  • Document analytical methods, data lineage, operating procedures, and known limitations.
  • Contribute reusable patterns and best practices and mentor others.
