Integration and Data Engineering
- Architect batch, near-real-time, streaming, event-driven, API-led, and zero-copy integration patterns across Salesforce and enterprise platforms.
- Define ingestion, transformation, error handling, replay, idempotency, reconciliation, observability, and recovery standards.
- Partner with MuleSoft, Snowflake, Azure, data engineering, and source-system teams to establish interface contracts and canonical models.
- Guide large-volume data processing, performance tuning, capacity planning, data archival, and cost-aware design.
Analytics, Activation and AI Enablement
