What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Microsoft Fabric Architect role where I can design governed data platforms, semantic models, and enterprise-scale data solutions while leading and mentoring technical teams.

I help enterprises turn fragmented, multi-source data into governed, decision-ready reporting. Over 16+ years, I've designed data warehouses, ETL pipelines and BI platforms across SQL Server, Oracle, Netezza, DB2, Snowflake and Azure.

What I've delivered:

- Data governance & security: led a team of 8 to build a reusable Dynamic Data Masking framework across SQL Server, Oracle and Snowflake, covering 10+ databases for compliance-driven clients.

- Migrations & data mapping: owned source-to-target design for 100+ tables across multiple business units at Nedbank SA, and led migration and upgrade work for FedEx and Old Mutual.

- BI & semantic modeling: designed a Power BI semantic model (around 10 KPIs serving 20+ reports) for executive reporting, alongside enterprise reporting and modeling in SSRS and SSAS.

Moving into Microsoft Fabric:

I'm DP-700 certified (Fabric Data Engineer Associate) and have applied Fabric hands-on building a semantic model for executive KPI reporting. I'm deepening my Fabric expertise as organizations modernize their data platforms, and I bring 16 years of warehousing, ETL and governance architecture to that work.

Leadership:

I've led and mentored teams of 3 to 8 across SQL Server, Oracle and Power BI stacks, and led transition and knowledge-management efforts on multi-year enterprise programs.

Core skills: Microsoft Fabric · Power BI · Azure Data Factory · SSIS · SSRS · SSAS · Snowflake · T-SQL · Data Warehousing · Data Governance · Data Modeling

Open to Fabric Architect, Data Architect, BI Architect and Data Governance leadership roles. Let's connect.
