· Implement row-level security, object-level security, workspace access, and sensitivity controls in alignment with governance standards.
· Publish and manage semantic models, reports, apps, refresh schedules, and deployment pipelines across development, test, and production.
· Develop paginated and operational reports in Power BI Report Builder for pixel-perfect or export-oriented requirements.
· Establish reconciliation, validation, peer review, and UAT practices to ensure completeness, accuracy, and release readiness.
· Troubleshoot refresh failures, connectivity issues, DAX or model defects, and production performance problems within defined SLAs.
· Support CI/CD, version control, and release automation for Power BI artifacts with platform and DevOps teams.
· Maintain solution designs, data dictionaries, measure catalogs, report specifications, support guides, and knowledge articles.
· Mentor Power BI developers and analysts through design reviews, code reviews, reusable patterns, and hands-on coaching.
· Participate in roadmap planning, architecture reviews, sprint ceremonies, and continuous improvement with data, analytics, and governance teams.
