A seasoned Co-Founder of a FinTech Startup and head of the Power BI Development team at METZ Solutions, I bring over 5 years of experience in Business, Financial, Cost Analysis, and Accounting. I excel in data management, financial forecasting, and translating insights into actionable strategies. I create innovative Power BI dashboards and reports that empower stakeholders to make data-driven decisions, ensuring operational efficiency and business growth.
I am certified in Power BI Data Analysis and co-created Microsoft's PL-300 exam materials. I have a deep understanding of financial reporting and apply finance knowledge to build impactful analytical tools. In accounting, I have processed and coordinated accounts payable transactions, managed full-cycle payroll using Ceridian, and ensured compliance with US & Canadian sales & payroll tax regulations.
I develop model-driven and canvas apps on the Power Platform, as well as Power Automate workflows. I leverage Azure for secure, responsive cloud environments and excel in API integration. I ensure data integrity in SharePoint migrations.
In Power BI, I handle financial computations with advanced time series and forecasting techniques. My BI skills include DAX and SQL, with a solid understanding of database structures. I have developed data visualization solutions that improved financial health reporting accuracy by 35%.
I am committed to continuous learning and have advanced my data modeling and business analytics skills through DataCamp courses in Power BI, Python, AI, and Machine Learning. My hands-on, problem-solving approach equips me to tackle technical challenges and ensure quality in fast-paced, data-centric environments.
