• Plan connectivity and data movement strategies for enterprise applications, operational feeds, APIs, file-based inputs, and existing Microsoft or Azure data assets.
• Define and recommend governance and security controls, including tenant configuration, workspace permissions, environment separation, sensitivity labeling, and lineage management.
• Analyze capacity usage, workload distribution, refresh behavior, storage consumption, and query performance to improve scalability, cost efficiency, and platform stability.
• Establish practical DevOps and release management standards for source control, deployment pipelines, environment promotion, documentation, and naming conventions across Fabric assets.
• Develop monitoring guidance, operational metrics, alerting approaches, and support runbooks to assist with large-scale Fabric administration.
• Lead knowledge-sharing sessions, technical walkthroughs, and documentation efforts so internal teams can effectively manage administration, engineering, governance, and Power BI-related activities.
