About Umair

I am a Data Engineer and AI Adoption Lead with over 5 years of experience helping companies, especially in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, transform their data into business decisions and truly integrate AI into their processes.

How can I help you?

  • Design and build your cloud data platform(Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Azure) from scratch: ingestion, ETL/ELT, modeling, and governance.
  • Connect your critical systems(ERP, CRM, Dynamics 365, Dataverse) to give you a 360° view of customers, operations, or supply chain.
  • Create clear and actionable dashboardsin Power BI or QlikSense that your team will actually use.
  • Implement Microsoft Copilot and develop custom AI agents(HR, legal, internal support, customer service, document analysis) following a proprietary 10-phase adoption framework that takes your organization from zero to full AI integration in its processes.

What sets me apart?

I led the end-to-end digital transformation of an international pharmaceutical company, bringing a data platform to production (integrated ERP + CRM) and achieving an AI adoption score of 92/100. I don't just build the technical solution; I accompany it with methodology, governance, training, and internal communication to ensure the change resonates throughout the organization.

Projects I typically deliver:
– Data warehouses and cloud data platforms.
– Business dashboards (supply chain, finance, sales, CRM).
– Microsoft Copilot implementation and adoption.
– Development of AI agents and automations (Power Apps, Power Automate).
– Data and AI strategy, governance, and training.
