I am a Microsoft Data Platform & AI MVP, Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), and Microsoft Certified Trainer Community Lead, recognized for my technical expertise, passion for knowledge sharing, and contributions to the global technology community.

As the Founder and Director of Pearl Innovations Limited, I help organizations design, build, and adopt modern Data and AI solutions using Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Azure Databricks, Power BI, Azure AI Foundry, and Generative AI.
