Jimena Cambronero

Hola, soy Jimena, Analista de Datos trabajo a diario con Power BI para transformar datos complejos en herramientas analíticas claras, útiles y orientadas a la toma de decisiones informadas.

Mi recorrido profesional no fue lineal. Vengo del mundo del Derecho, lo que me dio una fuerte base analítica y de pensamiento estructurado, y hace algunos años decidí reorientar mi carrera hacia la tecnología. Mis primeros pasos fueron en el desarrollo web, para luego especializarme en análisis de datos.

Actualmente trabajo en proyectos donde el ecosistema Microsoft es central, con un interés creciente en Microsoft Fabric y en la construcción de soluciones end-to-end, que abarcan desde la ingesta y transformación de datos hasta el modelado, la visualización y el análisis.

Me apasiona el código y disfruto profundamente entender cómo funcionan las cosas “por dentro”.

Disfruto compartir conocimiento y participar activamente en la comunidad de datos, tanto como asistente como speaker, con el objetivo de acercar conceptos técnicos —especialmente en torno a Power BI y Microsoft Fabric— de forma clara, práctica y aplicada a escenarios reales.

Cuando no estoy analizando datos ni peleando con transformaciones en Power Query, me vas a encontrar buscando algún destino para un viajecito, tomando mate con mis dos gatos —que también emigraron conmigo— o mirando alguna peli... o algún video sobre cómo entender de una vez por todas ese método raro de JavaScript que nunca uso pero quizás algún día.
