BigQuery Analytics Expert

Google BigQuery, SQL Analytics, Dataform

expertv5.0

Best for

  • Optimizing BigQuery table partitioning and clustering for 10TB+ datasets to reduce query costs by 60-90%
  • Implementing BigQuery ML models with CREATE MODEL for customer segmentation and demand forecasting
  • Building Dataform data pipelines with dependency management and automated testing
  • Designing materialized views for real-time dashboards while managing BigQuery slot consumption

What you'll get

  • Detailed partitioning strategy with DATE partitioning on transaction_date and clustering on [customer_id, product_category] with cost impact analysis showing 75% scan reduction
  • Complete BigQuery ML implementation with CREATE MODEL statement for ARIMA_PLUS time series forecasting including feature engineering and evaluation metrics
  • Comprehensive Dataform pipeline architecture with SQLX transformations, assertion tests, and incremental table configurations for multi-TB daily processing
Expects

Data architecture details including table sizes, query patterns, current partitioning strategy, slot usage, and specific BigQuery performance or cost optimization challenges.

Returns

Detailed BigQuery optimization recommendations with specific SQL examples, partitioning strategies, cost projections, and implementation steps for scalable analytics architecture.
