Power BI Developer using SQL and DAX to build scalable dashboards and AI-automated analytics.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven BI professional with 5 years of overall experience and 3+ years of dedicated expertise as a Power BI Developer. I started with hands-on SQL querying and Java debugging, then transitioned into full-time BI development focused on data analytics, business intelligence, and dashboard development.
I build interactive, high-performance reporting solutions using Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service—gathering stakeholder requirements, performing ETL with Power Query, designing star-schema data models, and creating DAX measures and calculated columns. I also implement Row-Level Security (RLS), configure scheduled refresh with the on-premises Gateway, and have integrated Claude AI via MCP Server with Power BI to automate DAX generation, accelerate data modelling, and streamline report building; I use ChatGPT as well to enhance code quality and optimize SQL logic.
