Project history
Designed and implemented a greenfield Data Vault 2.0 architecture (RDV → BDV → Information Mart) for the ServiceNow BOOST/CSDM platform on Azure Synapse Analytics, modelling 400 source tables across CMDB, HAM, SAM, and SPM domains into Hubs, Links, and Satellites.
Bridged Data Modelling, Data Engineering and Data Analyst by owning the mapping specification consumed
directly by the DE team, managing a Master Config File as single source of truth, and implementing a versioned release process with change log tracking. Enabling better governance of the data model and faster deliverables with parallel working without blocking DE Team during the data modelling iteration process.
- Designed comprehensive BI reporting architectures using Power BI, Databricks, from multople data sources, collaborating with business and technical teams; Supported BI Teams on the Transacationsal Data Model understanding and desing of BI Data Modals.
- Led cross-functional design discussions with architects, analysts and engineers, translating data strategy into practical delivery across multiple business areas
- Provided architectural leadership for the governance of Conceptual Data Modals and their implementation as domain-specific data services aligned with TOGAF® enterprise architecture principles.
- Acted as Scrum Master driving Agile ceremonies, process enhancements, and tooling optimizations while governing Data Model lifecycle by managing logical and physical data models, approving changes and enforcing standards and best practices using EA Sparx Database as the golden source.
- Proposed data privacy and classification methodology to identify sensitive data, establishing framework for data privacy understanding and classification processes for regulatory compliance.
- Authored and reviewed technical documentation in Confluence, architectural specifications, and solution designs supporting scalable, compliant data and BI systems; reported progress and strategic insights to senior stakeholders, ensuring cross-stream alignment for migration, architecture, and data analytics initiatives
- I introduced self-analytics tools. These user-friendly tools allowed non-technical users to effortlessly create reports and derive insights, reducing implementaiton cost, while ensuring data quality.
- Collaborated closely with stakeholders to gather business requirements, provide technical estimates, and design scalable, high-performing data solutions aligned with business objectives.
- Architected scalable data engineering solutions processing millions of daily records from IoT medical devices through optimized ETL/ELT pipelines, delivering healthcare analytics via QlikSense data platform.
- Led Big Data initiatives managing cross-functional team maintaining 50+ production dashboards, implementing cloud-native data architecture and comprehensive data governance frameworks
