โข Partner with data engineering teams to implement: ETL/ELT pipelines, orchestration, CI/CD, environment management, Performance tuning, partitioning, indexing, clustering strategies, Observability (logging, monitoring, SLA/SLI, cost optimization), Enable governed self-service analytics through reusable datasets and thin-report architecture.
โข Design semantic models in Power BI for enterprise-wide reuse, ensuring consistent KPI definitions.
โข Hands-on experience in DAX optimization, performance tuning, composite models, and security (RLS/OLS).
โข Implement workspace architecture, deployment pipelines, and governance best practices in Power BI.
โข Engage Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement, and IT stakeholders to translate needs into architecture.
โข Lead architecture reviews, technical documentation, and implementation roadmaps.
