  • Hands-on expertise with semantic standards and query languages (OWL, RDF, SPARQL, SHACL, SKOS).

  • Proven experience building enterprise ontologies or semantic layers for complex domains (e.g., Life Sciences, Healthcare, Finance, or Supply Chain).

  • Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with graph databases (e.g., RDF triplestores or property graphs) and knowledge graph workflows.

  • Excellent communication skills to elicit domain knowledge from business stakeholders and translate it into formal specifications.
