Senior Data and Reporting BI Specialist

Candidate Description

Specialising in enterprise Business Intelligence, this professional brings over 20 years of global experience delivering data-driven insights across government, financial services, healthcare and FMCG sectors. Adept at architecting and optimising analytics platforms, they have mastered Microsoft Power BI, Azure and modern data-platform components such as Databricks, Lakehouse and OneLake, blending deep technical skill with strong business acumen. Their engagements span consulting firms and large organisations including government agencies, where they translate complex requirements into scalable, intuitive reporting solutions.

Their technical acumen is demonstrated through composite model design, DirectQuery optimisation, DAX performance tuning and secure deployment pipelines in Azure DevOps. They routinely lead migrations from legacy tools (SAP BusinessObjects, Tableau, Qlik) to cloud-based Power BI Service, instituting governance frameworks with Purview, Data Loss Prevention and API-driven automation. Notable achievements include building a multi-billion-dollar asset reporting system for a Transport Agency, delivering revenue-optimisation dashboards for a Healthcare Provider, and designing shared semantic models and policies that underpin a Regulatory Authority’s Power BI cloud transition.

A collaborative leader and mentor, they coach technical teams, author best-practice playbooks and present community sessions such as “AI in Power BI”. Their adaptability across diverse domains, coupled with Federal baseline security clearance, positions them to drive strategic data initiatives, enhance self-service analytics and unlock actionable insights for any forward-thinking organisation.
