What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, governed BI solutions that turn enterprise data into reliable self-service analytics. I value cross-functional Agile collaboration, strong data quality and security standards, and opportunities to improve reporting performance and usability.

I build governed Power BI semantic models, datasets, dashboards, and reusable reporting layers from ERP, CRM, REST API, operational, customer, and financial data.

At Filterbuy, I architect enterprise analytics solutions using DAX, Power Query, SQL Server, row-level security, workspace permissions, and standardized business definitions. I troubleshoot refresh failures, performance issues, and data discrepancies while partnering with Data Engineering and IT on durable improvements.

Previously, I delivered Tableau analytics at Startech Network and Power BI, SSRS, SSAS, and SSIS solutions for Ally Financial's regulated reporting environment.

At Advent Global Solutions, I improved ETL load time by 20%, reduced query execution time by 45%, and delivered dashboards that improved decision-making efficiency by 35%. I enjoy turning complex data workflows into reliable, documented, self-service reporting solutions.
