BI Architect & Data Product Owner

Methodology

THE SYSTEM.

01 — Discover

The Audit

I go in hard. No diplomatic sugarcoating — a raw technical assessment of your data landscape: where the debt is buried, what nobody trusts, and what will collapse under scale. You'll know the truth within days, not months.

02 — Design

The Blueprint

Architecture before code. We lock the single source of truth, define data flows, governance contracts, and product scope. No improvisation mid-build. The blueprint is signed before a single pipeline runs.

03 — Build

The Execution

We ship. Pipelines, semantic layers, dashboards — built to production standards, not demo standards. CI/CD, automated deployment, peer review. Delivery is measured in weeks, not quarters.

04 — Handoff

The Ownership

You own it. Fully. I train your team, write the governance playbooks, and document every decision — so the system survives without me and you never call me for the same problem twice.

Data Architecture

The Problem

Siloed systems (Keboola, Snowflake, ERP, legacy JDBC), no single source of truth, and data nobody trusts — killing decision speed at every level.

The Solution

Medallion architecture (Bronze / Silver / Gold) on Microsoft Fabric with OneLake, Fabric Lakehouses, Direct Lake mode, and governed semantic layers that scale.

BI Product Development

The Problem

Reports nobody opens, dashboards that mean different things to different teams, and KPIs that erode trust with every refresh cycle.

The Solution

Decision-first BI products built around user journeys — from executive scorecards to operational drill-throughs. Kimball-modelled, GxP-compliant where needed.

Data Engineering

The Problem

Fragile manual pipelines, Excel consolidations, and data that arrives broken — leaving analysts firefighting instead of delivering insight.

The Solution

Automated ETL/ELT pipelines from source to semantic layer via Fabric Data Pipelines, Dataflows Gen2, ADF, and Notebooks — with CI/CD via Git and PBIP.

ADF / Data FactoryDataflows Gen2Notebooks / SparkdbtSQLPythonGit / CI-CD

Product Ownership & Delivery

The Problem

Data projects that run over budget, under-deliver, and lose stakeholder trust — because nobody is translating business needs into technical reality.

The Solution

Acting as the bridge between business and engineering — defining vision, managing backlog, running Agile ceremonies, and ensuring production-grade BI delivery.

AI & MCP Integration

The Problem

Manual reporting cycles, analyst bottlenecks, and insights that arrive too late — reactive decisions instead of proactive intelligence.

The Solution

MCP Server integration with Power BI enabling AI-driven, context-aware data interactions and automated report generation. Copilot for Fabric + Azure OpenAI pipelines.

Responsible for booking, artist management, brand identity, and live production. The project demonstrated the same systems thinking and creative leadership Ondrej brings to his data work.

"Music taught me that rhythm, structure, and execution aren't optional — they're what separates noise from something that hits. I run BI projects the same way."
