Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer | Power BI & SQL Expert
Nairobi, Kenya
$20/hr$20 per hour5.0 (1) 1 job $20 total earnings
Looking for someone who can build production-grade data pipelines and Power BI dashboards that your business actually trusts? I'm a data engineer with hands-on Microsoft Fabric, SQL, and Power BI experience built inside real banking and fintech operations, not just tutorials or personal projects.
What I Offer:
✅ Microsoft Fabric Architecture – Lakehouse/Warehouse design, medallion (Bronze/Silver/Gold) data models, Dataflow Gen2, and automated pipeline orchestration
✅ Power BI & Advanced DAX – Enterprise semantic models with complex DAX measures (KPIs, time intelligence, financial metrics) built for executive-level reporting, not just basic charts
✅ SQL & Data Modeling – Advanced querying, performance tuning, and star/snowflake dimensional modeling across SQL Server/T-SQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle
✅ ETL Pipeline Engineering – Designing and maintaining scalable pipelines (Airflow, PySpark, Python) that ingest, clean, and transform data from multiple source systems
✅ Data Quality & Reconciliation – Building validation frameworks that catch errors, duplication, and anomalies before they reach your reports — a discipline I built diagnosing real production data issues at scale
✅ Python Automation – Scripting for data processing, workflow automation (n8n), and repetitive task elimination
Why Work With Me:
🔹 Real Financial Services Experience – I've built fraud detection rules, risk dashboards, and credit product reporting inside an actual bank, not just simulated data
🔹 Engineering Rigor – I validate before I ship: control totals, backups, and reconciliation checks are standard practice in my work, not an afterthought
🔹 Clear Communication – I translate technical work into plain business language and keep you updated at every stage
If your data pipelines are unreliable, your dashboards don't tell a clear story, or you need someone who understands both the engineering and the business side of the data — let's talk about your project.
