Sumaiya Shrabony is a Technical Program Manager and BI practitioner at the University of Colorado Denver, where she manages enterprise analytics infrastructure across Azure Data Factory, SSAS Tabular models, Power BI, multiple departments, and 500+ users.

Her work sits at the point where ERP systems, data migration, BI reporting, and AI adoption either become useful or break trust. She focuses on the proof layer behind modern analytics: migrated Business Central data, finance balances, semantic models, Power BI reports, governance constraints, and AI workflows that need reliable data before they can be trusted.

Sumaiya speaks on Business Central migration proof, Power BI and Fabric reporting continuity, semantic-layer reliability, and the operator version of AI: not hype, not theory, but the version that has to survive real users, broken dashboards, anxious stakeholders, and workflows that cannot afford confident guessing. She implemented Business Central twice (BC 14 on-prem 2020, NAV to BC 16 On-Cloud 2021).

She also writes Ground Truth, a weekly newsletter on practical AI adoption in enterprise data work. Her teaching style is specific, direct, and built for practitioners who need the work to make sense by Monday morning.

Over 20 years experience in software engineering, mostly in the defence domain at Thales. The last few years of this were focused on transformation first to containers then Kubernetes.

After Thales I worked on the cloud native team at Couchbase, working on their Golang-based Kubernetes operator. This included producing a custom Fluent Bit deployment for observability needs.

Calyptia (founded by the Fluent maintainers) then approached me to come work with them building out observability products before we were successfully acquired by Chronosphere. I then led the migration of all our infrastructure and SOC2 compliance before Chronosphere was again successfully acquired by Palo Alto. During this period I also became a core maintainer of the CNCF graduated Fluent project, primarily working on Fluent Bit.

I am now running an OSS consultancy for observability called Telemetry Forge leveraging our knowledge as well as working with customers in the defence domain again.
