  • Solid understanding of data lineage, metadata management, and source-to-report traceability.
  • Proven experience in requirement analysis, user story creation, and defining acceptance criteria in Agile environments.
  • Knowledge in any BI tools for data validation and lineage documentation.
  • Strong SQL optimization and performance tuning capabilities.
