What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own Power BI semantic modeling and Azure-based data engineering—building near-real-time dashboards with strong data quality, observability, and clean pipelines. I want to drive measurable performance improvements and collaborate across teams.

I’m a Senior Power BI Developer and Data Analyst with 7.3 years of experience transforming complex data into actionable business intelligence. I focus on end-to-end data modeling, building semantic layers, and optimizing KPI reporting using Power BI, DAX, and Azure analytics patterns.

In recent roles, I’ve designed high-performance dashboards and semantic models on Azure Databricks/Delta Lake, implemented Row-Level Security (RLS), and used dbt with PySpark to deliver reliable datasets for Power BI consumption. I also build near-real-time ingestion pipelines using Azure Event Hubs and Kafka to keep executive dashboards low-latency and dependable.

I’m especially driven by data quality and observability—using Azure Monitor and automated checks (e.g., Great Expectations) to protect reporting SLAs. Highlights include achieving 99.5% pipeline uptime, reducing new report/dashboard development time by ~35%, and deploying AI-driven anomaly detection to cut incident response from hours to minutes.
