I am a Data and AI lead consultant specializing in Power BI semantic modeling and data visualization.

After a decade in quantitative risk analysis in the oil and gas industry, I shifted to "the new oil" (data) in 2017. Since then I have worked extensively with Diver (Dimensional Insight) and Power BI and, more recently, Microsoft Fabric since its public preview in 2023. I am also a proficient user of external Power BI tools, with a primary focus on Tabular Editor.

My core passion is enabling teams to build semantic models and visualizations efficiently while maintaining quality.

My professional strength is translating business requirements into actionable, analytical solutions.

I recently became a certified Tabular Editor trainer and have started presenting at community and professional events, including New Stars of Data (May 2025). My talks emphasize a Done in 60 Seconds philosophy: practical demos on how to perform tasks in seconds that normally take hours.
