I began my career as a business and technology consultant, quickly transitioning into implementation and BI development. I’ve used several BI tools along the way—Tableau, Domo, and Spotfire—but Power BI has been the core of my work for many years.
My focus started with data visualization and clear data communication, and has grown to include data architecture and development practices. I’m currently working with Microsoft Fabric and promoting the use of source control and CI/CD to improve the Power BI development lifecycle.
