With over a decade of experience in data field, I’m specialized in transforming data into actionable insights and bridging business and technology, mostly using Microsoft stack.

Now as a certified Power BI Data Analyst and Fabric Analytics Engineer in Tech Consultancy, I deliver tailored BI solutions across industries to provide fast and meaningful insights to business users.
