⚡ Expert-Vetted (Top 1%) on Upwork. Top Rated Plus. 100% Job Success. 15+ years architecting enterprise data platforms on Microsoft Fabric and Azure.
If your data platform is fragmented, expensive, slow, or not ready for AI — I help you modernize it into a scalable, governed, business-ready cloud data ecosystem.
I'm a Strategic Azure Solutions Architect and Data Engineering Leader. I work with clients who need more than development help — they need someone who can assess the current state, define the right architecture, build the roadmap, guide implementation, and stay hands-on when needed.
🎯 What I help you solve
✓ Modernize legacy SQL Server, SSIS, Oracle, and on-prem data platforms
✓ Design Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse, Warehouse, OneLake, and Direct Lake architectures
✓ Build scalable Azure Data Factory + Databricks ingestion and transformation frameworks
✓ Improve Power BI performance, semantic models, RLS, and enterprise BI adoption
✓ Reduce cloud cost through better architecture, workload design, and optimization
✓ Prepare your data foundation for AI, Copilot, Fabric Data Agents, and self-service analytics
✓ Deliver governed data solutions for regulated and complex enterprise environments
🧩 Microsoft Fabric expertise
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric implementation, solutioning, and roadmaps:
▸ Fabric Lakehouse, Warehouse, OneLake, Notebooks, and Pipelines
▸ Direct Lake semantic models and Power BI optimization
▸ OneLake shortcuts and DB mirroring patterns
▸ Fabric Data Agent and Copilot proof-of-concepts
▸ Self-service data models in controlled enterprise environments
▸ Data franchise models for governed, business-owned analytics
If you're deciding whether to move to Fabric, how to structure workspaces and domains, how to combine Fabric with Databricks, or how to design an AI-ready data platform — I can help you avoid costly architecture mistakes early.
