What I'm looking for

I seek senior BI roles where I can lead Cognos/Power BI implementations, optimize analytics performance, mentor teams, and drive impactful reporting solutions in collaborative, growth-oriented organizations.

I am a Senior Cognos Analytics Architect with 20+ years of experience designing and delivering enterprise BI solutions using IBM Cognos (11.x/12.x), Framework Manager, Report Studio, Dynamic Cubes, data modules, and Power BI. I lead development, conversion and performance tuning efforts, implement row- and object-level security, and drive projects from requirements gathering through deployment for clients in finance, pharma, education and other industries.

My achievements include migrating and upgrading Cognos environments, creating complex reports, dashboards, active reports and dynamic cubes, integrating TM1/Planning Analytics, and optimizing query performance and caching. I collaborate with stakeholders and offshore teams, provide user training, and solve complex reporting issues to deliver actionable analytics and reliable BI platforms.
