  • Implement end‑to‑end MLOps processes, including CI/CD pipelines, model versioning, automated testing, observability, drift monitoring, and retraining workflows within Microsoft Fabric and Azure ML.
  • Promote Responsible AI principles by ensuring model fairness, transparency, explainability, and compliance with regulatory and internal governance standards.
  • Design and optimize enterprise data models—such as dimensional and star schemas—to support business intelligence, automation, and AI agent workloads.
  • Partner with analytics and insights teams to deliver high‑performance, scalable, and reliable data products.
  • Ensure adherence to security, data‑access governance, lineage tracking, and enterprise privacy requirements.
  • Stay ahead of emerging AI, ML, and BI capabilities; evaluate new technologies and introduce innovative tools and approaches to the organization.
