# Soumyadipta Paul on Tal

## Headline

Senior Data Modeler & Data Governance Professional \| AI Governance \| ETL Solution Designer

## About

I am a senior data modeling and data governance professional with 15\+ years of experience designing, governing, and optimizing enterprise\-scale data solutions across complex and compliance\-driven environments\. My core expertise spans logical and physical data modeling, metadata management, data lineage, data quality, and the implementation of robust governance frameworks\. In addition to governance and design responsibilities, I bring strong hands\-on experience in SQL\-based data analysis, including working with Databricks on AWS to analyze datasets, perform data quality checks, and support both business and analytical use cases\. I have collaborated closely with architects, engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable, well\-structured data designs\. I also have a good understanding of responsible AI principles, AI risk management, model governance considerations, and regulatory expectations\. While my hands\-on background is rooted primarily in data governance, data modeling, and SQL\-driven analysis, I am well\-equipped to support AI initiatives from a data trust, compliance, and risk\-awareness perspective\. I’m particularly drawn to opportunities in data governance, data standards, and solution design review\-roles where informed decision\-making, critical thinking, and purposeful design are essential for ensuring data quality and organizational success\. I am open to both remote and hybrid opportunities\.
