• You are well-versed in Power BI and the broader Microsoft BI stack, including SQL Server and Azure, using these tools to build scalable and secure dashboards and data solutions that meet the diverse needs of stakeholders across the organisation.
  
• Your education reflects a solid foundation in quantitative and analytical disciplines, such as computer science, statistics, business analytics, or a related field, equipping you with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for high-quality BI work.
