What I'm looking for

I seek a senior BI/architecture role where I can lead platform migrations, optimize BI performance, build enterprise dashboards, mentor teams, and work in a collaborative, delivery-focused environment that values stability and measurable business impact.

I am a Senior BI professional with 14+ years of experience across Business Analytics and Data Analytics, specializing in SAP BusinessObjects, Power BI, Tableau and SAP HANA. I have led administration, migration and report development efforts for large enterprise clients in manufacturing, hospitality, FMCG and government sectors.

I have implemented and maintained BI landscapes (BOE, BOXI, SAP HANA, BW/4 HANA, SAC), performed server and performance tuning, managed upgrades and change control, and built dashboards and KPI scorecards using Power BI, Tableau and Lumira. I have strong hands-on SQL/PLSQL, Oracle and MS SQL skills and experience with scripting, DevOps automation and JIRA for support and delivery.

I am customer-focused, experienced in user training and support, and have successfully executed global and overseas assignments including a year-long implementation in Malaysia. I seek roles where I can drive BI architecture, platform migrations and deliver actionable analytics at scale.
