• Review and optimize existing models for performance, size, and governance.

• Oversee conformed dimensions, cross‑fact modeling, and shared dataset strategies.

2. Advanced Power BI Development

• Develop complex DAX measures, calculation groups, and reusable measure frameworks.

• Create polished, highly interactive executive dashboards and analytics apps.

• Implement versioned development using Power BI Desktop + Git integration.

3. Enterprise Security: RLS/OLS

• Architect secure, dynamic Row-Level Security (Static/Dynamic) solutions for large user bases.

• Implement and audit Object-Level Security to protect sensitive columns/measures.

• Work with identity teams (AAD/Entra) to align security with enterprise roles and policies.

• Ensure secure propagation across multi-fact, multi-dimension models.

5. CI/CD & Deployment Automation

• Design and maintain end-to-end deployment pipelines for Dev → Test → Prod.

• Implement CI/CD, Git integration, version control, and automated validation.

• Manage release cycles, rollback plans, and deployment consistency across environments.

• Partner with DevOps teams to integrate BI assets into enterprise DevOps workflows.

6. Governance, Optimization & Best Practices

• Define standards for modeling, naming conventions, security, and workspace management.

• Conduct code reviews, audits, and performance tuning for DAX, Power Query, and models.

• Drive data quality, documentation, and lifecycle management across BI products.

7. Leadership & Collaboration

• Mentor junior developers, providing technical guidance and code reviews.

• Work closely with business stakeholders to translate ambiguous requirements into robust BI solutions.
