Riccardo Perico
Back in 2010 I began my career in IT.
After a brief stint as ERP Consultant, I transitioned into Data Realm.
Over the years, I explored the world of data from various perspectives, working both as a DBA and a BI Architect.
I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional at different levels in databases, BI and Azure areas.
Microsoft MVP for Data Platform category x4 and Microsoft Fabric Super User.
I'm one of the leaders of Power BI User Group in Italy and I'd been speaker during the Power Platform World Tour and Global Power Platform Bootcamp stops in Italy.
You can find me speaking at Azure Saturday, SQL Saturday, Data Saturday, and other community events across Europe.
I served as a technical reviewer for the books “Extending Power BI with Python and R”, "Microsoft Power BI Quick Start Guide" and “Power BI Cookbook, 3rd Edition”.
Last but not least, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal addicted!
