Description

Expert Power BI & BI Architecture — 10 years of experience with major accounts

I design and maintain reliable decision-making solutions for companies that need actionable data, not just pretty dashboards.

My core business: advanced semantic modeling (DAX, Power Query, star schema), BI architecture (DWH, Data Marts, cloud integration with Synapse and Snowflake), and application management (MCO/RUN).

I cover the entire chain — from data source to business reporting.

Recent references: France Télévisions (since Feb. 2024), Saint-Gobain, TKH Group.

I work in both project mode (scoping, specs, delivery) and TMA/RUN (maintenance in operational condition, support, SLA).

And when it's useful, I train teams to make them autonomous.

Environments mastered: Power BI (Service, Report Server, DAX Studio, Tabular Editor, RLS), SAP BusinessObjects, Talend, SSIS, SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, Synapse Analytics.

Based in Île-de-France. Available for full remote or hybrid.
