I have 12 years of experience in data analytics, BI engineering, and enterprise reporting, along with strong expertise in Power BI, SQL, DAX and Microsoft Azure data services, I am confident in my ability to add value to your team. As a Power BI Lead, I have designed and delivered scalable BI solutions end-to-end—from data ingestion and modelling to visualization, governance, and report optimization. My hands-on experience includes building robust semantic models, implementing advanced DAX measures, optimizing DirectQuery and Import mode performance, and ensuring data quality through efficient ETL pipelines. I also bring a solid background in integrating Power BI with Azure services such as Data Factory, Synapse, Data Lake, and Logic Apps, enabling enterprise-grade data transformation and automation. I have led migration initiatives from legacy BI tools to Power BI, implemented row-level security (RLS), developed reusable data models, and followed best practices for workspace management, version control, and deployment pipelines. My strong understanding of data warehousing concepts, star/snowflake schema design, and task automation using Power Automate further supports my ability to deliver high-performing BI ecosystems.
