What I'm looking for

I’m looking for full-time, contract, or remote opportunities where I can lead enterprise Power BI and data engineering—building governed, self-service dashboards, automating reporting, and partnering with stakeholders to deliver measurable business outcomes.

I’m a results-driven Senior Power BI Developer and Data Engineer with 10+ years of IT experience, including 5+ years of deep specialization in enterprise BI development across insurance, financial services, manufacturing, and FMCG. I deliver end-to-end Power BI solutions—from business requirements gathering to production deployment—so stakeholders get faster, more confident decisions with strong data governance.

I’ve led enterprise delivery as the primary BI lead, including building a unified dashboard suite to consolidate KPIs across multiple insurance distribution channels and automating scheduled PDF email delivery from Power BI Service, reducing distribution time by an estimated 80%. I also design and enforce role-based access controls (RLS) across Power BI workspaces to ensure only authorized users access sensitive data.

Across client engagements, I refactor and stabilize fragmented BI environments (20+ production reports), provide L3 production support, and translate complex requirements into intuitive analytical views for non-technical users. I’m collaborative and hands-on—mentoring junior developers, documenting BI/Databricks/Azure architecture to reduce onboarding time, and partnering with C-suite stakeholders to align BI strategy with measurable business outcomes.
