• Design end-to-end architectures in Microsoft Fabric, covering OneLake, Lakehouse and Warehouse, data integration, data modeling, semantic models and reporting.
• Design integration from diverse sources (ERP, CRM, SaaS, APIs, files and streaming), including batch, incremental and change data capture patterns, using Fabric Data Factory, Dataflows Gen2, Spark notebooks and Azure Data Factory.
• Lead modernization and migration from on-premises SQL Server, SSIS/SSAS, Azure Synapse Analytics and Power BI Premium to Microsoft Fabric.
• Design the semantic layer and reporting standards and guide report developers.
• Size, monitor and optimize Fabric capacity and consumption costs, and identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.
• Define data governance, data quality, lineage and metadata practices, and partner with our Security practice on data security, privacy and compliance.
