Bijan 😎

Bijan 😎

Bijan is Veterans Affairs Canada's Power BI Champion (and also an Analytics Lead and Power BI Architect on his own time) who believes data isn’t just the new oil—it’s the new gossip, and he’s here to help you spill the tea 🍵. With a career spent building scalable data solutions across the public and private sectors, Bijan specializes in integrating Power BI with Azure DevOps and the Power Platform, making sure your BI ecosystem is as organized as a well-maintained star schema.

Known for his engaging (and occasionally punny) approach, Bijan will have you thinking about your data models like they’re Shakespearean plays—full of relationships, some cross-filtering drama, and the occasional circular reference tragedy 🗡. He’s passionate about turning data chaos into order, and if he could, he’d marry a well-crafted DAX formula (yes, he's single).

When he’s not teaching others how to build balanced BI ecosystems, you can find him chasing down errant joins or debating whether “self-service BI” is just a fancy way of saying “everyone’s now a data analyst.” Spoiler alert: It is. 🙄
