• **Data Quality, Validation & Documentation**: Define and apply practical standards for data quality, validation, traceability, and documentation — especially for sensitive and clinically relevant datasets.
• **Observability & Engineering Practices**: Implement logging, validation checks, alerting, and basic observability for new pipelines, while contributing to shared codebase practices such as Git, code reviews, CI/CD, and testing.
