I'm Harish — Data Analyst & Engineer, born into telecom data in India, sharpened in marine and energy, now building in the UAE.

I see data as a force for good decisions. A partner to leadership. A tool to make reporting faster, numbers safer, and businesses more connected.

From decoding revenue performance to automating finance integrations, I'm not waiting for clean data. I'm creating it — with pipelines, models, and dashboards built with people in mind.

Every engagement follows one principle: leaders don't want more data — they want one number they can trust.

How we work together

A simple process,no surprises

Every engagement follows the same clear shape — so you always know what's happening, what's next, and what you're paying for.

01

Discovery call

Free · 30 min

We talk through the goal, the data, and what success looks like. No commitment.

02

Scope & proposal

1–3 days

You receive a fixed-price proposal — clear deliverables, timeline, and what's out of scope.

03

Build & iterate

Weekly check-ins

You see progress as it happens — not a black box. Feedback is welcome and quick to apply.

04

Handover & support

Docs · training

Your team gets documentation and a walkthrough — so they own the work after I leave.

The Data Backbone

A data-
enabled
business

The backbone — where your numbers become your fastest employee.

The Data Backbone is more than pipelines — it's a way of running a company where every decision has a number behind it.

Built as a unified flow, it knits together your source systems, SQL, Azure & Fabric lakehouses, semantic models, and Power BI into one reliable spine: governed, automated, and always current.

Reporting delivered as a utility — refresh you never think about, numbers you never doubt.

Testimonials

What clients say afterthe dashboards go live

★★★★★
"

Harish turned our 40-tab finance workbook into a clean Power BI model. Month-end now takes 2 hours instead of 2 days, and the numbers finally agree across teams.

FL

He delivered exactly what we asked for — plus the documentation and training our team needed to own and maintain it after he left. Rare combination.

PM

★★★★★
"

Fast, sharp, and refreshingly honest about what the data could and couldn't do. The Fabric pipeline he built has been running for months with zero hand-holding.

Our reporting actually gets opened now. The numbers we used to argue about in every meeting — settled. We've already booked Harish for two more projects this year.

We came in thinking we needed a new tool. Harish showed us we needed a better model. The star schema rebuild saved months of confusion and let our DAX finally stay simple.

FAQ

Questions you might have before we talk

Do you work remotely or on-site? +
Both. I'm based in Dubai, UAE, and most engagements are remote with weekly video check-ins. On-site visits in the UAE are easy — I'm happy to come in for kick-offs, workshops, or handover sessions. International clients work fully remote across GST and adjacent time zones.
How long does a typical project take? +
A focused Sprint ships in 1–2 weeks. A full Build (lakehouse + reporting) is typically 3–6 weeks. Longer Platform partnerships run 3–6 months. You always get a fixed timeline in the proposal before any work begins.
What's your pricing model? +
Fixed price by scope for Sprint and Build engagements — so you know what you're paying before we start. Platform engagements use a retainer or day-rate model. Discovery calls are free, and I never bill for revision rounds inside an agreed scope.
Will you sign an NDA and respect data security? +
Absolutely. NDAs are standard before sharing any business data. I follow least-privilege access, work in your environment wherever possible (your Azure tenant, your workspace), and never store production data on my local machine.
Can you work with our existing team and PM? +
Yes — I work well alongside in-house data teams, project managers, and external vendors. I can lead a workstream, embed inside your team, or be the bridge between business stakeholders and a technical team. Whatever shape works.
What if our data is messy, private, or in legacy systems? +
That's most of my work. Legacy SQL, ERP exports, OData APIs, 40-tab Excel workbooks, unreliable extracts — I treat data cleanup as part of the job, not a separate phase. We figure out the messy bits together early in the engagement.
Do you provide documentation and training? +
Yes — every engagement includes a handover document covering the architecture, key decisions, refresh schedules, and known issues. The Build package also includes a 1-hour live training session for your team so they can confidently own the work after I leave.
What if I need ongoing support after the project? +
Each package includes a post-launch support window. Beyond that, you can pay-as-you-go for tweaks, or set up a small monthly retainer for ongoing improvements and on-call response. No lock-in — month to month.
Can you also help with AI agents or copilots? +
When the use case is real — yes. I build copilots and Teams bots that sit on top of well-modelled data. But I'll always make sure the data foundation comes first: AI on top of bad data just amplifies the bad data.
