I help businesses turn scattered spreadsheets and disconnected reports into reliable dashboards and automated data workflows. With 15+ years of experience in data engineering and business intelligence, I specialize in building practical reporting solutions using Power BI, Excel, SQL, and Azure data platforms. Many of the teams I work with start with manual Excel reporting or multiple disconnected data sources. My role is to structure the data properly, automate the pipeline, and deliver dashboards that are easy to maintain and scale. I work across the full data lifecycle starting from data ingestion and transformation to analytics and visualization with a strong focus on accuracy, performance, and long-term maintainability.

I am also a Microsoft Certified Fabric Data Engineer. How I Work: My focus is not just building dashboards but ensuring the data behind them is structured, reliable, and easy to maintain.
