• Advanced Modeling: Design, implement, and maintain robust data models (Star Schema) that ensure high performance and data integrity across the organization.
• Optimization: Perform rootcause analysis on slowrunning reports; optimize SQL queries in Snowflake and DAX expressions in Power BI to ensure subsecond response times.

• Snowflake: Experience with SnowSQL, partitioning, and warehouse optimization.
• MS Fabric: Familiarity with OneLake, Data Factory, and the Fabric environment.

• Clarity: Ability to explain complex technical concepts to nontechnical audiences
