You will get a full Power BI audit with a prioritized fix plan
Project details
Your dashboards are slow, the numbers don't tie out, or nobody trusts the refresh — and you're not sure whether the problem is the model, the DAX, or the source data.
I'll audit what you have and tell you exactly what's wrong and what to fix first. This is a diagnostic engagement: I identify and prioritize the issues. Implementation is available separately, or bundled at the Advanced tier.
What I review: data model structure (relationships, cardinality, star schema compliance), DAX measures (correctness, performance, filter-context errors), refresh performance (Power Query bottlenecks, incremental refresh opportunities), report design, and workspace governance.
What you get: a written audit rating every issue by severity and effort, a prioritized roadmap, and recommendations your team can act on directly.
I've built and owned BI functions at three companies, most recently across a portfolio of 500+ locations reporting to the C-suite. I hold a PhD in experimental design. If your setup is fine and doesn't need the work, I'll tell you that.

About Shemal
BI & Analytics Leader | Power BI, Fabric, SQL & AI Automation
Mississauga, Canada - 3:59 am local time
Three times now I've joined a company where the data function was tiny or nonexistent and built it into the thing leadership runs the business on. Today I lead BI and analytics for a gaming portfolio covering 500+ locations and an iGaming arm processing over $800M in annual bet volume, reporting directly to the CEO, CFO, and CTO.
WHAT I BUILD FOR CLIENTS
Executive Power BI & Microsoft Fabric environments — semantic models, service deployment, Copilot-enhanced dashboards, board-ready reporting
Revenue forecasting — ensemble time-series (Holt-Winters, blended-growth, YTD-anchored), backtested with MAPE and confidence bands, plus variance and bridge analysis
AI automation for BI — retrieval- and tool-augmented assistants grounded in your own data, and custom MCP servers connecting LLMs to SQL Server, Oracle, and Jira
Statistical modeling that moves revenue — Taguchi DOE, multiple regression, K-means clustering, Monte Carlo simulation
Data consolidation — messy Power BI, SQL Server, Oracle, and Excel sprawl unified into one warehouse layer that everyone actually trusts
WHY THE STATISTICS BACKGROUND MATTERS
My PhD and a granted patent came out of optimizing concrete using experimental design. The same rigour that tunes a material tunes a game economy or a revenue forecast — I just point it at different problems now. Most BI freelancers can build you a dashboard. Fewer can tell you whether the number on it is significant.
A FEW RESULTS
Game-economy and player modeling that lifted Gross Gaming Revenue 19% and player retention 11%
Custom MCP servers automating reporting workflows — ~20 analyst hours reclaimed per week
An AI analytics assistant deflecting 10–15 routine reporting requests weekly, about an hour of team time a day
Sales and QA dashboards at a manufacturer contributing to a 14% rise in quarterly revenue and ~10 hours per week in process savings
HOW I WORK
I start by asking what decision you're trying to make, not what chart you want. Then I scope it, build it, and hand it over documented so your team isn't dependent on me forever. PMP-certified, so scope, timeline, and status reporting are handled without you chasing me.
You'll find a live retrieval-augmented AI analytics assistant, forecasting work, and full case studies in my portfolio below.
Based in the Greater Toronto Area, Canadian Permanent Resident, and comfortable working across North American and European hours.
If you're building (or rebuilding) an analytics function, message me with what's broken and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
Steps for completing your project

Delivery time starts when Shemal receives requirements from you.
Shemal works on your project following the steps below.
Revisions may occur after the delivery date.
Scope confirmation
I review your files, workspace access, and the concerns you flagged, then confirm what's in scope before starting. If anything's missing, I'll tell you within one business day.
Data model review
I examine relationships, cardinality, star schema compliance, redundant tables, and calculated columns that should be measures. This is where most trust problems originate.
