About Narayana Windenberger

I'm an analytical problem solver who gets things done. My formal background is in business management and I also have more than a decade of hands-on IT experience in a variety of roles.I analyze and visualize data to help companies make better decisions. Specially I use Microsoft's analytics tools (Power BI, Power Pivot, Power Query and the DAX language) to build fully automated dashboards. At the same time, I have deep experience using Excel's power features like Pivot Tables and VLOOKUP for traditional analysis.I am deeply curious to understand how things work, have a high standard of excellence, and bring a positive attitude to the task at hand. And when I'm not sure how to proceed, I'm not afraid to ask questions to get the job done.
