Istanbul, Türkiye
Experienced data & analytics professional focused on building scalable, reliable, and high‑impact analytics platforms. Known for leading Azure, Power BI, and Snowflake ecosystems end‑to‑end—ensuring performance, stability, and seamless adoption across business teams. Strong believer in enablement: design and deliver Power BI trainings that elevate data literacy and empower teams to make faster, smarter decisions. Actively contribute to global change management initiatives as a market representative, ensuring new capabilities land smoothly and deliver value quickly. Blending hands‑on analytical experience with platform leadership, bringing both technical depth and a practical business mindset. Passionate about simplifying complexity, improving decision velocity, and creating data experiences that genuinely help people.
I lead the end‑to‑end analytics platform agenda—owning reliability, performance, and adoption across Azure and BI ecosystems. My scope spans Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, and the broader Azure resources required to run robust data solutions, as well as Power BI and Snowflake integrations. I translate business goals into scalable, cost‑efficient platforms and products, driving measurable impact on decision speed and user experience—without a data‑governance remit. I also design and deliver internal Power BI enablement programs, and serve as the market representative in global change management initiatives to ensure release readiness and adoption. Responsibilities & Impact • Own and operate the market‑scale analytics platforms (Azure & BI): capacity planning, SLA/SLO management, incident response, observability, release & change management. • Drive prioritization and roadmaps with business teams; streamline discovery → delivery → scaling for high‑leverage analytics use cases. • Lead performance & cost optimization across Synapse/ADF/Snowflake/Power BI (query tuning, caching, scheduling, autoscale, partitioning). • Standardize data integration patterns and CI/CD for pipelines, semantic models, and dashboards; enable self‑service while maintaining platform reliability. • Design and deliver internal Power BI trainings (curriculum, hands‑on labs, best practices) to increase adoption and data literacy. • Represent the market in global change management programs—coordinate release readiness, stakeholder communication, and feedback loops to accelerate adoption. Technologies Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake Storage, related Azure resources (e.g., Key Vault, Monitor/Log Analytics), Power BI (dataflows, pipelines, semantic models), Snowflake, SQL, Python. (Current learning/POCs: Microsoft Fabric, Apache Airflow.)
I built and operated end‑to‑end data pipelines and BI solutions across Azure and Snowflake, collaborating closely with business stakeholders. My focus was on reliable data movement, performant models, and intuitive dashboards that improved decision quality and adoption. Responsibilities & Contributions Designed and maintained ETL/ELT with ADF and Synapse; modeled data (star schema) and delivered Power BI dashboards with efficient refresh and access patterns. Implemented Snowflake integrations and connectivity patterns; optimized queries and workloads for cost/performance. Established monitoring & alerting, basic SLA tracking, and continuous improvement loops for pipelines and reports. Supported self‑service BI through documentation, enablement sessions, and reusable components.
