Hola a todos 👋✨ Soy Jimena, Analista de Datos, y trabajo todos los días con Power BI para transformar datos complejos en soluciones analíticas claras, útiles y accionables 📊 Mi recorrido profesional no fue lineal —por suerte, porque si algo sabemos en datos es que casi nada interesante viene perfectamente estructurado desde el origen 😄—. Vengo del mundo del Derecho, una experiencia que me dio una base muy fuerte de análisis, lógica y pensamiento estructurado. Hace algunos años decidí reorientar mi carrera hacia la tecnología 💻 primero pasé por el desarrollo web y luego encontré en el análisis de datos un lugar donde realmente me siento en casa.

Hoy trabajo en proyectos donde el ecosistema Microsoft ocupa un rol central, con un interés cada vez más fuerte en Microsoft Fabric y en la construcción de soluciones de extremo a extremo: desde la ingesta y transformación de datos, hasta el modelado, la visualización y el análisis 🚀📈Me apasiona el código 👩‍💻 entender cómo funcionan las cosas "por dentro" y compartir conocimiento con la comunidad de datos, tanto como asistente como orador 🎤💙.

Disfruto especialmente de los conceptos técnicos sobre todo de Power BI y Microsoft Fabric de una manera clara, práctica y conectada con escenarios reales. cuando no estoy analizando datos ni peleándome amistosamente con Power Query 😅, seguramente estoy planeando un viaje ✈️, tomando mate con mis dos gatos 🐱🧉 o tratando de descifrar por qué un notebook de Python, que ayer andaba perfecto, hoy elige el caos.
