Key Skills & Experience:

  • 5+ years of experience in Azure (ADF, Data Lake, Synapse).
  • Strong SQL skills for data integration and reporting.
  • Experience with Power BI for visualization and analytics.
  • Familiarity with Python (preferred but not currently in use, planned for future projects).
  • Knowledge of modern data warehousing techniques.
