I led the design, setup, and long-term maintenance of robust ETL pipelines, ensuring reliable data ingestion and transformation from multiple external sources. Migrating the scraping infrastructure to Google Compute Engine significantly enhanced performance and reduced downtime. I also introduced CI/CD practices via GitLab CI, increasing deployment efficiency and code quality.

As head of the Data and Analytics department, I enforced QA procedures to guarantee data accuracy and established key performance indicators (KPIs) for tracking success across initiatives.
