BI consultant @ Sparkle

Brussels, Belgium

I am a technical data engineer with 6+ years of experience specializing in Microsoft technologies (Databricks, T-SQL, Power BI, SSIS, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse, GitHub, Azure …). I have extensive experience designing and implementing ETL pipelines, logical data models (star schemas), data anonymization strategies, and data historization processes. I thrive in environments where collaboration with diverse IT and business stakeholders is key, effectively bridging communication between functional teams. I'm proficient in Agile methodologies and actively pursue continuous learning in Azure cloud technologies and AI-driven solutions. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology and consistently seek challenging opportunities to expand my technical expertise.
