Stakeholder Face-off: Drive technical discussions with Front Office Traders, Quants, and Risk Managers to translate complex business needs into scalable technical specs.

Technical Governance: Own the ETL pipelines and data parsers. Ensure the system is capable of handling increasing volumetric data demands without compromising latency.

Architecture: Cloud-native migrations (AWS/Azure), API design, and SQL/NoSQL performance tuning.
