At Osiris Trading (Betway Africa), I drive adoption of Power Platform, Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, and AI Copilot. I design automated Power Automate workflows and data pipelines for executive dashboards and actionable BI.

At Capitec Bank, I redesigned Credit Division Excel reporting in Power BI, reducing refresh cycles from 7 days to 10 minutes. I also built a multi-source web-scraping pricing comparison engine and designed Row-Level Security models for sensitive financial datasets.

At Ozow, I used Power BI AutoML to build predictive models that informed strategic targets and KPI tracking. Earlier, at Modernising Management (Investment Banking), I built Exco-level dashboards and replicated Salesforce Sharing Rules in Power BI.
