Years Of Experience

I'm a Microsoft Fabric Super User and Fabric & Power BI User Group Leader who genuinely enjoys the parts of data work that make most people's eyes glaze over.

I've spent the last decade working with data, starting as a software developer building database applications for the agricultural sector, then moving into data engineering, and now working end-to-end as a Senior Data & Analytics Consultant at adesso Austria. My favorite topics are Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, from architecture and data modeling through to implementation, performance tuning, and training, and I have a special talent for breaking things in unexpected ways.

My home base is near Graz, in Styria, the green heart of Austria. If I'm not in my office playing with the newest data and AI tools, you'll find me gardening or taking care of my indoor jungle and cats.
