I'm an MVP Data Platform and Super User in Power Bi Community: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/11211
I like data analysis. Getting to know what data is hidden and what I can discover. Showing data value to entities is what I try to do. The design of data models to get a warehouse, the construction of semantic layer and building reports/dashboards. One of the things I enjoy most are query languages, specially T-SQL and DAX. Another thing I enjoy a lot is Python for data.

I feel good helping people in communities, that's why I write a blog you can check down below and participate on forums.

Charlie Gough

Charlie Gough

Based in the South West of the UK. Three-time Microsoft Security MVP and member of the Microsoft Security Advisors Programme. Work mostly sits across Entra, Sentinel, Defender, Purview and Intune.
Day job is running a presales and solutions team at a UK Microsoft partner. That means a lot of real customer deployments, architecture sessions, and the kind of problems that don't show up in the documentation. A fair bit of time goes on Sentinel cost work, Conditional Access design, and MXDR service architecture.
Writes at Cloud Security Insider about the Microsoft security stack, mostly the bits that aren't on the marketing slides. Builds the odd open source tool when something gets annoying enough to fix — a Sentinel cost calculator and a posture analysis tool so far. Also mentors community speakers through the MVP programme.
Has spoken at Microsoft Ignite and a few community events around the UK and Europe. Usually turns up with opinions and a working demo.

Microsoft MVPs

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are recognized experts in their respective technical communities who actively share their knowledge and expertise with others. The MVP award is given to individuals who have made significant contributions to the Microsoft community through their involvement in technical forums, user groups, conferences, and other events. As a result, many MVPs are sought after as speakers at industry events, sharing their knowledge and insights with others.

When an MVP adds their award to their speaker profile, it can serve as a powerful endorsement of their expertise and credibility. Event organizers and attendees alike recognize the MVP award as a symbol of excellence in the field of Microsoft technology, and are more likely to view MVP speakers as authorities on the subject matter they are presenting. This can help MVPs secure speaking engagements, as well as increase their visibility and recognition within the community.

In addition to the benefits for the MVPs themselves, including the ability to network with other experts and gain exposure for their work, the community as a whole can benefit from the contributions of MVP speakers. By sharing their knowledge and insights with others, MVPs help to elevate the level of expertise and understanding within the Microsoft community, ultimately leading to better products and services for everyone.
