Visualization & Dashboard Development:

• Build intuitive, visually compelling Power BI dashboards that communicate insights clearly and effectively.
• Apply data visualization best practices and data storytelling techniques to support decision-making.
• Create interactive features such as drill-throughs, bookmarks, custom visuals, and parameterized reports.
• Ensure dashboards meet accessibility, usability, and design standards.

SQL Development (Oracle & SQL Server):

• Write efficient, well-structured SQL queries, stored procedures, and views to support BI data pipelines.
• Perform data profiling, validation, and transformation using SQL in both Oracle and SQL Server environments.
• Collaborate with DBAs and data engineers to optimize query performance and ensure data integrity.

Power BI Administration & Governance:

• Manage Power BI Service components including workspaces, datasets, data gateways, refresh schedules, and capacity utilization.
• Support governance initiatives such as dataset certification, naming conventions, documentation, and version control.
• Monitor performance, troubleshoot refresh failures, and optimize dataset size and gateway performance.
• Assist with tenant-level administration including user access, licensing, and compliance with organizational policies.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement:

• Work closely with business stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into scalable BI solutions.
