Maria Belyaeva
@mariabelyaeva
I’m a Business Intelligence Consultant specializing in Power BI/Fabric architecture and Power Platform automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Business Intelligence Consultant with Infomotion experience in Power BI development, Fabric architecture, and Power Platform tools. I focus on performance, maintainability, and scalability while building and professionalising business-built BI into enterprise-grade implementations.
As a Senior BI Consultant and Power BI Practice Lead, I’ve served as technical lead for Power BI projects (client & internal), creating Power BI service architecture and advising implementation strategy using best practices. I also handled refactoring and professionalisation of organically grown BI solutions into scalable, enterprise-grade environments.
Across migrations and platform builds, I architected workspace structure, app design, user groups, audience segmentation, and role-based access. I implemented monitoring solutions for data refresh and pipeline health, introduced CI/CD practices for Power BI deployments with Azure DevOps and Git, and helped teams adopt consistent reporting standards via custom theme files and visual guidelines.
I’m also comfortable bridging business needs and technical delivery—gathering requirements, translating them into engineer tasks, and supporting data pipeline work across Azure Data Factory and Databricks (plus smaller scoped tasks within broader platform builds). In the Power Platform space, I deliver automation with Power Apps and Power Automate, including document routing for downstream AI-based extraction, and I’ve led PoCs for Microsoft sustainability products (Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability, Microsoft Sustainability Manager).
