* Proven track record reviewing solution architectures and integration patterns for data quality, security, and compliance risks

* Background working with cross-functional teams (platform engineering, security, architecture, and product)
* Familiarity with regulated environments and enterprise data standards (e.g., SOX, HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, CCPA-depending on context)
* Experience using AI/ML tools to automate or enhance data governance activities (e.g., policy mapping, metadata extraction, anomaly detection)
* Exposure to event-driven architectures, pub/sub design, and schema management (e.g., Confluent Schema Registry or equivalent)
