Data Visualization Lead at Humana building and deploying Power BI and AI-generated dashboards for enterprise cloud migration.

United States

Message

At Humana, I build, test, and deploy Power BI and AI-generated dashboards as part of a cloud migration from on-premises applications. I also maintain legacy dashboards and administer workspace access and security.

At CapTech Consulting, I created Power BI visualizations for BPx Energy’s cash-flow and oil and gas well metrics, presenting dashboard progress to C-level executives. I also maintained Tableau dashboards for Wells Fargo and contributed to a PGA Tour data migration from DB2 to Azure SQL Server using SSIS.

Earlier, at Corning, I migrated legacy DataZen dashboards to Power BI and created SSRS reports for manufacturing intelligence. At the City of Concord, I used Crystal Reports to shorten the write-off account process from three months to three weeks.
