Successful Power BI projects start with business understanding - not dashboards.
Before building anything, I learn how the business works and the decisions its people need to make.
The result? Power BI solutions that drive action.
Reporting Specialties:
- Financial: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, variance analysis, YoY/QoQ comparisons, forecasting
- Operational: Sales performance, productivity tracking, time-based analysis, trend monitoring
- Customer: Segmentation, retention, lifetime value, churn trends, purchase patterns, cohort analysis
What sets me apart:
- 10+ years in business means I understand the business behind the data
- Technical depth (DAX, Power Query, star schema) with professional dashboard design
- I work independently, ask the right questions, and deliver results with minimal oversight

⚡ Power BI & Excel Dashboard Expert | Turning Messy Data Into Decisions You Can Trust
Most businesses don't have a data problem — they have a visibility problem. The numbers are there, but they're scattered across spreadsheets, locked in systems that don't talk to each other, or buried in reports that take half a day to build. That's what I fix.
I'm a Power BI and Excel specialist with five years of experience and 200+ completed projects, helping teams replace manual spreadsheets with automated, real-time reporting that drives faster, smarter decisions. As a Top Rated Plus freelancer with a 100% Job Success Score and a perfect track record — no 1- or 2-star reviews, ever — I deliver work that's reliable, well-documented, and built to last.
🚀 What I Deliver
Power BI Dashboards & Data Models – Custom visuals, dynamic DAX measures, and executive-level reporting tailored to your business goals.
Automated Data Pipelines – Connect APIs, Excel, SQL, and cloud sources to streamline data refresh and eliminate repetitive manual work.
Excel & VBA Tools – Advanced formulas, macros, and calculators that simplify data management and reduce errors.
Performance & Market Insights – Deep analysis across finance, construction, retail, e-commerce, and more, turning trends into clear strategies.

🎯 Why Work With Me
I bridge technical precision with business understanding — delivering dashboards that not only look great but actually drive decisions. I ask the right questions before building, document everything so your team can maintain it after I'm gone, and stay in communication from start to finish.
If your reporting isn't working — or you're not even sure what's possible — send me a message. I respond within a few hours and I'm always happy to talk through the right approach first.

I've developed Power BI reports since 2015 in Portland Oregon. Since then I’ve had success (and a ton of fun) creating countless reports and dashboards for various customers in a wide variety of industries including software, insurance, sports equipment, consulting, healthcare, and manufacturing.
I also have extensive experience with training others how to develop reports using Power BI and have successfully trained over 50 people with with common tasks and best practices not limited to: data modeling, DAX, creating advanced visualizations, and requirements gathering. I've led successful trainings in a variety of mediums including recorded training modules, one on one deep dives, and in-person and remote group sessions.
Lately I have also been focusing on developing self service-reporting models compatible with Excel and Power BI which can be a great option for democratizing reporting in addition to traditional reports.
Report renovation is also a skill I have a ton of experience with. Renovation is a great strategy in a variety of scenarios but especially if you have any lingering access/excel reports floating around your organization. Power BI can be a great modernization tool for consolidating, automating, and optimizing these legacy reports all while minimizing cost. Think of it as a home renovation/remodel, your same home restored into good repair and integrated with modern features. Now switch your home with that old excel report that's been around for a decade plus. Reach out today to learn more about renovating your legacy reports!
I regularly attend the local Portland Power BI User Group meetings and have even presented a few topics myself.
