3. Modern BI & Decision Intelligence: Developing real-time, interactive dashboards and executive decision platforms using tools such as Power BI, Looker, Tableau, ThoughtSpot, or Amazon QuickSight—often in combination with embedded AI insights.
4. AI Model Ops and Lifecycle Management: Experience with full model lifecycle—training, monitoring, retraining, and scaling—using MLOps platforms such as MLflow, Azure ML, Vertex AI Pipelines, or AWS SageMaker Pipelines.
5. Data Readiness & Governance for AI: Deep expertise in data governance frameworks (e.g., DAMA, DCAM), metadata management, master data management (MDM), and data privacy/security best practices that ensure high-quality, trustworthy data for AI use.
6. Responsible & Ethical AI: Knowledge of implementing responsible AI frameworks including bias mitigation, explainability, fairness, auditability, and alignment with governance standards such as ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and emerging regional regulations.
