What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead delivery of end-to-end analytics solutions—using Microsoft Fabric/Azure and Power BI—to turn business goals into scalable data platforms, executive dashboards, and measurable outcomes with strong stakeholder collaboration.

I’m a Data & Analytics Delivery Lead with 8+ years of experience delivering enterprise data, analytics, and digital transformation solutions across the Middle East. I’ve led 50+ Data & Analytics projects, translating business requirements into scalable platforms, executive dashboards, and actionable insights.

I design and implement analytics solutions using Microsoft Fabric and Azure, combining Data Warehouse, Lakehouse architecture, and Dataflows to support reliable delivery. With Power BI, DAX, dimensional modeling, and ETL/ELT pipelines, I build semantic models and KPI reporting that connect data from Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O, AX, Business Central (BC), NAV, SQL Server, APIs, and operational systems.

Beyond engineering, I’m driven by stakeholder management and delivery discipline—collaborating to define the right visualizations, planning work, supporting UAT, and ensuring successful go-live outcomes. I also support adoption through stakeholder training, and I continue strengthening my expertise through Microsoft certifications, including Microsoft Certified Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate and Microsoft Certified Data Analyst Associate.
