Leading technical architecture and solution design for enterprise data platforms. Specializing in Microsoft Fabric implementations, data governance frameworks, and pre-sales technical consulting to drive digital transformation initiatives.
As a Lead Consultant, I played a pivotal role in the technical leadership and collaborative delivery of Azure Data solutions, including DPi30, On-Ramp to Azure Data accelerators, and Proof of Concept (PoC) initiatives. I led comprehensive workshops to define use cases, delivered Microsoft Fabric training, and explored advanced analytics, modeling, and AI capabilities to lay the groundwork for scalable data solutions.
I partnered closely with Account Executives to develop strategic client roadmaps, focusing on value streams that supported long-term success. This collaboration helped transition PoCs into extended engagements aligned with client goals.
A key highlight was leading dynamic client workshops using Copilot to demonstrate “The Art of the Possible,” facilitate use case development, and conduct live prototyping—driving innovation and stakeholder engagement.
I also curated and maintained internal documentation for Fabric offerings, ensuring technical rigor and alignment with business objectives to support sales enablement and delivery consistency.
By leveraging deep expertise in the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, I helped clients navigate their digital transformation journeys through technically sound and strategically aligned solutions.
