Analyze data and display it in reports to aid decision-making. Convert business needs into technical specifications and establish a timetable for job completion. Create, test, and deploy Power BI scripts, as well as execute efficient deep analysis. Use Power BI to run DAX queries and functions. Create charts and data documentation with explanations of algorithms, parameters, models, and relationships. Use SQL queries to get the best results. Make technological adjustments to current BI systems to improve their performance. For a better understanding of the data, use filters and visualizations. Analyze current ETL procedures to define and create new systems, and build, monitor and troubleshoot data pipelines across Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL, Logic Apps and Function Apps. Support the migration and optimization of the Power BI estate to Microsoft Fabric capacity, applying workspace, capacity, performance and cost-optimization standards. Contribute to Group data governance and KPI standardization initiatives, ensuring consistent KPI definitions, data lineage and a single source of truth across OpCos.
