• Apply ML techniques (scikit-learn, classification algorithms, predictive modeling) to data-driven solutions.
• Implement observability, debugging, monitoring, and alerting for deployed services.
• Create Mermaid sequence diagrams, flowcharts, and dataflow diagrams to document system architecture and workflows.
• Drive best practices in data service development, including architecture, testing, and documentation.
