What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and deliver enterprise BI, data engineering, and governed analytics solutions, turning stakeholder KPIs into reliable self-service reporting on Azure, Fabric, and cloud data platforms.

I build enterprise data platforms and Power BI reporting solutions across Azure, Microsoft Fabric, and AWS. Over 12+ years, I've translated executive KPI requirements into governed, scalable self-service analytics.

At GrayMath Technology Co., I architected 20+ Azure Data Factory and Synapse ETL/ELT pipelines, cutting processing time by 40% across five business units. I also delivered 15+ Power BI dashboards, reducing reporting latency by 30% and replacing manual Excel reporting.

I've led BI developers through development standards, DAX conventions, data-model governance, and knowledge transfer at Wipro / Development Services Company Limited. My work spans Fabric Lakehouses, Direct Lake models, Databricks, SQL Server, data warehousing, dimensional modeling, data quality, and role-based security.

Earlier, I built high-volume data warehouses, database platforms, disaster-recovery capabilities, and production data migrations for organizations including MI-C3 International, Systems Limited, NetSol Technologies, NorthBay Solutions, and Vopium. I focus on reliable pipelines, performant analytical models, and reporting that gives stakeholders a trusted source of truth.
