What I'm looking for

I seek BI roles where I can build end-to-end Power BI solutions, lead reporting governance, optimize data models, and mentor users in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a results-driven Business Intelligence Developer and Data Analyst with over four years of experience designing, developing, and deploying Power BI and SQL-based analytics solutions across insurance, retail, and healthcare.

I build end-to-end Power BI solutions including data modeling (star/snowflake), complex DAX measures, Row-Level Security, automated refreshes, and paginated reports, and I optimize performance while enforcing governance.

I partner with cross-functional stakeholders to define KPIs, deliver actionable dashboards, provide user training, and document solutions to improve adoption and drive strategic decisions.
