Data Analytics Specialist specializing in Power BI, ETL, and data modeling to turn business needs into measurable BI outcomes.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end Power BI and ETL delivery—building governed data models, optimizing performance, and turning Finance/Operations requirements into trusted dashboards and faster decisions.

I’m a Data Analytics Specialist with 5 years of experience delivering Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, especially for Finance and Operations teams. I focus on translating business requirements into measurable technical outcomes that improve accuracy, save time, and drive performance.

In my freelance role, I deliver end-to-end Power BI solutions—from data acquisition and modeling to publishing executive dashboards. I build Databricks-based ETL pipelines to extract, transform, and load data into relational databases and data warehouses, and I’ve developed and maintained 10+ interactive Power BI dashboards for KPI reporting.

I strengthen reliability and speed through advanced SQL (CTEs, indexing, performance tuning) and Power BI optimization (DAX, Power Query, scheduled refresh). I’ve also designed star-schema data models and structured relational schemas to reduce documentation and reporting errors by 20% and achieve 99% data accuracy during monthly financial close processes.
