🧩 What This Covers
#

I improve the performance of Power BI reports and data models by identifying bottlenecks, refining DAX, optimizing query plans, and reducing unnecessary load - all without sacrificing clarity or flexibility.

🛠 Common Scenarios
#

  • Your reports take too long to load or refresh
  • Performance drops with larger datasets or more users
  • Users are frustrated by laggy visuals or timeouts
  • Your DAX measures are complex and difficult to debug
  • You want to ensure your model scales without rewrites

📌 What I Focus On
#

  • Profiling and simplifying slow or expensive queries
  • Refactoring DAX logic for efficiency and clarity
  • Reducing model size and improving column/storage behavior
  • Applying best practices around relationships, cardinality, and filtering
  • Making performance optimizations without creating technical debt

🚀 Outcomes You Can Expect
#

  • Faster load times and smoother user experience
  • Reports that scale with more data, more users, and more questions
  • Fewer workarounds and more maintainable logic
  • A reporting environment people actually enjoy using
