• GCP Dataflow and Apache Beam optimization and debugging
• Vertex AI and Gemini integration with data pipelines
• Monitoring and alerting tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Stackdriver)
• Incident response and on-call operations
• Large-scale data handling (terabyte to petabyte range)
• Prompt engineering for data enrichment
• SLA management and observability
