I build high-performance data warehouses, BI dashboards, and governed analytics platforms.
What I'm looking for
I've built enterprise analytics, executive reporting, and data-warehouse systems for telecom, healthcare, and financial-services clients across Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
As an Independent Data & BI Consultant, I rebuilt 30+ Snowflake stored procedures and rewrote 50+ SQL queries, cutting execution time by about 40% while clearing delayed-report backlogs. Previously at Cloud Primero, I led a six-person BI team delivering 15+ automated dashboards and designed SQL and Python pipelines processing 5M+ records daily.
I enjoy owning data models end-to-end, improving reporting performance, embedding governance, and translating operational metrics into executive-ready dashboards. My work spans Power BI, Snowflake, SQL, ETL/ELT, dimensional modeling, KPI/SLA monitoring, and stakeholder-facing analytics.
