What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I build scalable Power BI solutions, improve data quality and governance, collaborate in Agile teams, and contribute to secure, impact-driven analytics.

I am a Business Intelligence specialist focused on designing and delivering interactive Power BI solutions, data models and automated ETL processes for SMEs and larger organizations. I translate stakeholder needs into reliable KPI-driven dashboards while ensuring data quality and compliance.

I have delivered BI projects across finance, sales, operations and marketing for clients including scale-ups, distributors and investment firms, migrating Excel reports to scalable Power BI solutions and improving ETL efficiency. I’ve worked with confidential and privacy-sensitive data and contributed to ISO 27001/27701 compliance efforts.

I thrive in Agile teams, act as a sparring partner for the business, and combine technical skills (Power BI, DAX, SQL, Power Query) with stakeholder management, training and a strong focus on data governance and security.
