About Us

I enjoy creating data power uses.

With over 34 years of experience in the data and technology industry, the last 16 with Microsoft, I have had the opportunity to work in various capacities, contributing to my knowledge and expertise in Data Engineering, Power BI, and Data Visualization.

As a former Consultant and Cloud Solution Architect (Data & Analytics) at Microsoft, I was focused on enabling the Microsoft Partner Community to succeed with Microsoft’s Data & Analytics platform.

I have collaborated on multiple aspects, including Architecture Reviews, Roadmap Planning, Build & Assist, Hackathons, Proof of Concepts, and Technical Enablement Skills Development.

I have developed methodologies and frameworks that have brought structure to data enablement. One such framework, the “7 Step Visualization Framework,” has been widely utilized to ensure the success of Data Visualization projects for clients.

I have developed and delivered training workshops and have proficiency in creating Learning Paths for various Data & Analytics topics. I always enjoyed facilitating new hires’ onboarding and their continued success in delivering resources in the field.

Previously, as a Consultant in Enterprise Services for over 12 years, I focused on redesigning executive-level reporting solutions and modernizing dashboards by employing guided analytics and visualizations.

As a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the data platform, I have mentored others, created IP readiness, and contributed to technical communities.

I have been recognized throughout my career with several awards, such as the TechReady Community Champion Award and the DeliverIT Outstanding Contribution Award. I have also twice been a part of the One Services Summit Award-winning team and have been a Microsoft Worldwide SME for Database and BI.

Previously, As a co-lead of the Canadian Microsoft Data Community, I am proud of my accomplishments and continue to strive for excellence in the world of data and technology.
