• Support database migrations and refreshes by preparing, executing, and validating data loads in coordination with database administrators.
• Validate database objects and verify data integrity following maintenance events, upgrades, and platform migrations.
• Develop, test, and maintain robust database scripts, stored procedures, and triggers.
• Participate actively in collaborative team planning, estimation, and status sessions.
