Senior Data Engineer designing end-to-end Microsoft Fabric & Power BI solutions for enterprise analytics.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Data Engineer and BI Consultant with 15+ years in data & analytics and 8+ years focused on the Microsoft data platform (Microsoft Fabric and Power BI). I design and operate end-to-end data solutions—from ETL/ELT pipeline architecture and Lakehouse/Medallion Architecture (OneLake, Delta Lake, Data Pipelines, Dataflows Gen2, PySpark Notebooks) to dimensional modeling (Kimball/star schema) and enterprise data warehouses handling fact tables of 50M+ records per year.
I also bring deep analytics engineering expertise: semantic models, DAX optimization, and dynamic Row-Level Security. I’ve integrated Dynamics 365 / Dataverse as a data source with OData Feed connectivity and delivered real-time DirectQuery analytics, often independently owning the full solution lifecycle as a primary client-facing technical lead for international engagements (USA, Canada, LATAM, Europe). I’m Microsoft Certified (Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate, DP-600) and Authorized Microsoft Trainer (Dashboard in a Day).
