About me

Welcome to BI Insight.

My name is Soheil Bakhshi. I am originally from Iran, living in Aotearoa (New Zealand).

I believe in the power of knowledge sharing. I learnt and still learning a lot from other people who might live thousands of miles away and I don’t even know them. One way that I can PAY FORWARD is to also share my knowledge with others:

When I was a young boy I fell in love with data. I learnt MS-DOS 5 in 1994. Soon after, I learnt GW-Basic, and I was amazed by some beautiful graphical outputs of running some lines of code.

I started working in the IT industry in 2001. During my journey, I’ve done many interesting IT projects. From programming with Delphi 5 and Delphi 6, Paradox database, SQL server 2000, to creating insightful and professional dashboards in Tableau Software and Power BI.

In 2019 I received my first Microsoft Data Platform MVP award, which is a big milestone in my professional journey.

As a Business Intelligence Consultant I provide the following services to the industry:

  • Conferring with clients to identify their requirements, conducting business intelligence best practices
  • Conducting training workshops with my customers
  • Speaking in local and international events
  • Providing consultancy in Microsoft business intelligence solutions including:
    • BI Strategy, policy, technical documentation and governance
    • Self-service BI solutions with Power BI Platform
    • Data Modelling
    • Data warehousing (Kimball approach)
    • ETL solutions using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and Power Query
    • Semantic Model with SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular Models and Multidimensional Cubes
    • Cloud BI based on Microsoft Azure technologies

I hope you find this website useful, and I’d love to see your feedback, so please leave your comments in the “Comments” section below each post.

Cheers!
