I specialize in enterprise Power BI semantic models as a senior analytics leader.
What I'm looking for
I’m a BI Architect and Senior Analytics Leader with 20+ years of experience designing enterprise-grade Power BI semantic models, executive reporting platforms, and governance frameworks. I translate ambiguous C-suite questions into trusted KPI frameworks, architect scalable data models, and mentor analytics teams in DAX, dimensional modeling, and BI governance.
In my most recent role as Sr. Data Analyst & Analytics Product Lead, I architect Power BI semantic models and executive dashboards on Microsoft Fabric, Azure, and Snowflake, while establishing dataset certification, workspace access controls, and reporting standards. I also partner with data engineering on Data Vault architecture in Snowflake to improve data quality, lineage, and auditability—so executives can rely on reporting for strategic decisions.
