About Karim

I am a senior consultant in Data & Business Intelligence, specializing in the design, optimization, and governance of Power BI and SQL Server solutions. With over 12 years of experience in data, I have supported major groups (industry, health, retail, finance) in building robust data models, strategic dashboards, and high-value-added automation processes.

Key Expertise:
• Power BI (DAX/M modeling, RLS, performance, governance, CI/CD via pbi-tools and GitHub)
• SQL Server, SSIS, Tabular Editor, Azure Data Factory, Fabric
• Multidimensional modeling & SSAS cubes
• Data architecture, ETL automation (PowerShell, Excel VBA, API)
• CRM integration (Salesforce, Factorial, X3, Sylob)
• Deployment and maintenance of financial, sales & supply chain reports

My approach combines strategic vision and technical excellence to transform data into operational decisions and performance levers. I am involved in both dashboard design and the implementation of complete BI environments (Dev/Test/Prod, automation, monitoring).

Keywords: Power BI, SQL, SSIS, Tabular Editor, Azure, CI/CD, Data Modeling, ETL, Reporting, KPI, Dashboard, DAX, Fabric, Business Intelligence, Data Architecture, Data Strategy.
