Power BI Developer transforming complex data into fast, actionable dashboards and governed enterprise insights.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Power BI Developer with 5+ years of experience designing interactive dashboards and building enterprise BI solutions that turn complex datasets into actionable business insights. I specialize in Power BI, DAX, and Power Query (M), and I’m known for delivering measurable impact through dashboard performance improvements and clearer decision-making.
In my current role, I design interactive Power BI dashboards with drill-throughs, bookmarks, and dynamic KPIs, while strengthening data protection using RLS and governance guidelines. I build scalable, clean data models with optimized relationships and calculated tables, create KPI-focused DAX measures (including time intelligence, ranking, and variance logic), and engineer ETL pipelines using Power Query (M) and ADF.
Across Infosys, I’ve optimized backend performance by tuning SQL queries and creating tables, views, and indexes for high-volume reporting, supported UAT and deployments, and collaborated with cross-functional teams. I’ve also received the Rise Insta Award – 2023 for outstanding Power BI project contributions.
