FOR PREMIUM
OUTCOMES.

I don't compete on price.
I compete on certainty.

Enterprise-grade BI • Partner mindset

Problems I Solve

YOUR PAIN.
MY SPECIALTY.

Reports take 30 seconds to load

Performance Tuning

I optimize DAX calculations, restructure semantic models, and implement aggregations that make your dashboards respond instantly.

Result:90% faster queries

No one trusts the numbers

Architecture Audit

I trace data lineage, fix calculation inconsistencies, and build governance frameworks that make your data unimpeachable.

Result:Single source of truth

Team keeps asking for dashboards

Training Program

I teach your team to build and maintain their own reports, ending the bottleneck and building internal capability.

Result:Self-sufficient team

Data exists everywhere but answers nowhere

Fabric Engineering

I consolidate fragmented data sources into a coherent lakehouse architecture that makes insights accessible.

Result:Unified data platform

Copilot gives wrong answers on our data

AI-Ready Architecture

I optimize your semantic models for machine consumption, add rich metadata, and benchmark LLM accuracy - ensuring Copilot and AI agents return reliable answers.

Result:Trustworthy AI outputs
Investment

Entry Point

THE BI
BLUEPRINT.

Not ready for a full engagement? Start with a 2-week discovery that gives you a complete picture of your data landscape - whether you work with me afterward or not.

Current state technical assessment
Technical debt and risk inventory
Prioritized implementation roadmap
Budget ranges for each phase
Architecture recommendations

100% credit. If you proceed with implementation, the Blueprint fee is credited in full toward your project.

How It Works

THE PROCESS.

No mystery. No surprises. Here's exactly what happens when you work with me.

01

Apply

5 min

Submit your application with details about your challenge. I review every application personally.

02

Discovery Call

30 min

A focused video call to understand your situation, assess fit, and discuss potential approaches.

03

The Blueprint

2 weeks

Optional paid discovery. A complete technical assessment and roadmap you can use with or without me.

04

Implementation

Varies

Phased delivery with weekly check-ins. You see progress continuously, not just at the end.

05

Handoff

Included

Training, documentation, and governance. My goal is for you to never need me again.

The Guarantee

YOU HIRE ME.
YOU GET ME.

I've seen too many companies get burned by agencies that sell senior talent and deliver juniors. That ends here.

You hire me, you get me

No junior developers. No handoffs to offshore teams. I personally architect and deliver every engagement.

No agency bait-and-switch

You won't talk to a senior consultant in sales, then get staffed with a recent graduate. That's not how I operate.

Direct communication

No project managers playing telephone. You have a direct line to the person doing the work.

The Advantage

I DON'T JUST
USE THE TOOLS.
I BUILD THEM.

When the tools I need don't exist, I create them. This means I solve problems that standard consultants can't touch - and you benefit from that innovation.

These tools are used by thousands of developers and data professionals worldwide. They reflect the same engineering rigor I bring to every client engagement.

Fit Check

WHO THIS IS FOR.

Ideal Fit

Companies treating data as a strategic asset
Organizations with executive buy-in for data-driven culture
Teams ready to invest in long-term infrastructure
Leaders who value accuracy over aesthetics
Companies ready to challenge their assumptions

Not A Fit

Looking for a quick, cheap fix
Need a dashboard by next week
Want someone to just execute without questioning
Prioritizing decoration over accuracy
No budget for proper infrastructure
Client Results

WHAT THEY SAY.

What differentiated him from other developers is his ability to understand the context of the business and think alongside you, often proposing solutions you hadn't even thought of. Maxim truly worked as a business partner, transforming data into actionable insights.

Global Data Analytics & Insights Manager, Embecta

I was surprised to see how he was able to track all the data using Power BI he set up from the ground up himself. To add to his technical skills, he wrote Python scripts to gather data from system APIs.
