What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a BI role where I can build scalable Power BI dashboards, own end-to-end SQL-to-insight workflows with Power Query and DAX, and use Claude AI + ChatGPT to automate development in an Agile, stakeholder-driven team.

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.
