Power BI Data Analyst Associate (PL-300) Cert Prep: Cleaning, Transforming, and Loading Data in Power BI

It has been a fun and exciting career so far! On these past 20+ years of IT, I have: • Worked on support, consultancy, teaching, project and department management, and sales. That allowed me to have a well-rounded, holistic view of the IT industry; • Operated on 7 distinct countries in 4 continents (Americas/Europe/Oceania/Asia), which has taught me incredibly valuable lessons on multiculturalism and adaptability, so important on today’s dynamic and globalized business environment; • Been part of companies with enormous discrepancies in size (from 10 to 400,000 employees), stages (from start-ups to centenary organizations), and industries (IT, Insurance, Finance, Travel, News…), which gave me the clarity that every company is unique in terms of organizational culture and IT needs; Lately, after so many years on the On-Premises world, I have dedicated my time and expertise to Cloud and Data Sciences (Machine Learning/AI) technologies. That's the future, on which I truly believe! The potential for cost savings, better leveraging of computing resources, and intelligent solutions are breathtaking! If you’re not yet entirely convinced of such potential, feel free to connect and invite me for a chat. I’ll be glad to share my passionate, yet not unjustified, views on these subjects.
