   • Focused on the durable layer of BI — governed metric definitions, correct filter logic, and data quality — the layer that survives as AI reshapes how dashboards get authored.
   • Led a Snowflake-to-Fabric migration.
   • Built packaged Power BI custom visuals (TypeScript/D3) for sales territory mapping.
   • Authored narrative DAX measures that turn revenue data into plain-language insight.
