• Identify best data sources and collaborate with data architects to ensure feasibility and alignment with corporate data sources.

• Prepare application releases for test and production environments, validate deployments, and communicate changes to stakeholders.
• Provide Tier II application support and, when needed, Tier III level support by troubleshooting systems, identifying errors or deficiencies, and developing solutions.
• Deliver solutions as part of a team using agile or waterfall methodologies, depending on project needs.
• Actively participate in feedback sessions and retrospectives, offering constructive input to help the team continuously improve.
• Provide technical coaching and mentoring to less experienced team members to support their growth and development.
