Senior Microsoft Data & BI Consultant

Candidate Description

With over six years dedicated to engineering scalable analytics solutions and more than 15 years across the full software-development lifecycle, this professional excels in designing enterprise-grade data platforms leveraging Azure, Power BI and Microsoft Fabric. Their breadth spans telecommunications, government and retail projects, consistently applying deep expertise in data integration, modelling and visualisation to drive strategic decision-making. Adept at stakeholder engagement and cross-functional collaboration, they bridge business objectives with technical execution to deliver high-impact outcomes.

Demonstrating advanced technical acumen, they have architected complex solutions featuring Azure Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, PySpark, and CI/CD pipelines. Key achievements include migrating legacy reporting stacks to Power BI Premium for a major retail client, creating a government recharge automation that saved AUD 90 k annually, and accelerating decision-making by 68 % through executive insights dashboards. Their hands-on proficiency extends to ETL/ELT design, geospatial data processing, row-level security implementation and governance of Azure services, all executed within Agile and SDLC frameworks.

Equally comfortable leading teams or operating as a subject-matter expert, they mentor colleagues, champion best practices and adapt quickly to new technologies such as Spark and Microsoft Fabric. By unifying data silos, standardising integration patterns and instilling robust governance, they consistently reduce costs and time-to-insight for enterprise clients. This mix of technical depth, leadership and strategic mindset positions them as a valuable asset for organisations seeking to scale data platforms and unlock actionable insights.
