What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values data-driven decision-making and fosters collaboration.

I am a Business Intelligence Specialist dedicated to helping organizations harness their data for improved decision-making and operational efficiency. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in developing end-to-end data analytics solutions that empower businesses to leverage their data effectively. My expertise lies in creating enterprise-level data solutions, including data warehouses and semantic models, which provide comprehensive insights across various departments.

My journey in the field began with a strong foundation in the Microsoft BI stack, and I have since transitioned to Power BI, where I have become proficient in DAX and ETL processes. I pride myself on my ability to collaborate closely with stakeholders to gather requirements, ensuring that the solutions I deliver meet their needs. My commitment to user satisfaction and solution maintainability drives me to document every aspect of my work, making it accessible for future developers and users alike.

Currently, I am a Power BI consultant at Set Course, where I focus on building analytics solutions for the construction industry. My previous roles have included lead BI consultant positions in various sectors, including oil and gas, mining, and local government. I am passionate about using data to tell compelling stories and drive informed decision-making.
