Shahla A.
Business Analyst | Senior BI Consultant | Ex-Head of MIS
"Transforming Enterprise Data Complexity into Executive Strategy." Most Power BI developers can build a pretty chart, but they don't understand the underlying database architecture of a multi-million dollar corporation. I do. With over a decade of high-stakes experience—ranging from Banking Data Centers to leading the MIS Department of a Pharmaceutical giant—I specialize in building robust, automated Power BI ecosystems that drive business value. Why Hire a Former Head of MIS? Enterprise-Grade T-SQL: I don't just "run queries." I optimize complex stored procedures and relational database designs to handle large-scale datasets that crash standard dashboards. Legacy Modernization (Crystal Reports to Power BI): I am an expert in migrating legacy reporting systems into modern Power BI environments. I understand how to preserve business logic while upgrading to Paginated Reports and Interactive Dashboards. Compliance & Data Integrity: Having worked in the Pharmaceutical and Banking sectors, I understand that data accuracy is a requirement, not a goal. I implement Data Governance and Audit-Ready reporting structures. The Business-IT Bridge: I have spent years in boardrooms. I translate "Data Chaos" into KPIs (YoY, MTD, Variance Analysis) that stakeholders actually use to make decisions. Technical Proficiencies Visualization: Power BI (DAX, Power Query), Paginated Reports, Dashboard Design. Database Engineering: Exceptional T-SQL, SQL Server, Database Design, ETL Pipelines. Legacy Systems: Expert-level Crystal Reports (8 years of specialized freelance delivery). Automation: Excel VBA, Power Automate, Financial Reporting Automation. Domain Expertise: Pharmaceutical MIS, Banking Data Operations, Supply Chain Analytics. Professional Background Head of MIS (Pharmaceutical Sector): Managed the end-to-end data strategy and reporting lifecycle, rising from internee to Department Head in 4 years. Programmer Analyst (Soneri Bank Data Centre): Managed high-availability SQL environments and data integrity for a leading financial institution. Independent BI Consultant: 8+ years of delivering specialized reporting solutions for global clients, focusing on complex SQL and Crystal Reports development. Ready to modernize your data strategy?
