- Produce optimization reports and drive business owners to implement improvements
- AI-Driven Automation & Tooling
- Use AI coding tools (Cursor / Copilot / Claude, etc.) fluently to accelerate development and tool delivery
- Participate in EMR / S3 cost optimization projects: analyze high-cost jobs and storage, identify waste, and drive owners to take action
