1. MRR Movement & Waterfall
Kicked off a new SQL + Power BI project diagnosing churn and growth in a SaaS business. Section one breaks down where MRR actually comes from and goes each month new business, expansion, contraction, and churn. The headline: 61x MRR growth over 37 months, but 73% of every dollar lost came from churn rather than downgrades. Growth was real, but so was the leak underneath it.

After a long silence — Power BI has been consuming all my hours 🎯
Just wrapped Page 1 of a multi-page sales performance dashboard for a supermarket chain client. This is what I've been building quietly instead of posting 😅
The problem:
My client was tracking sales in scattered reports — no single source of truth for MOM (Month-over-Month) trends, store performance, or daily variations. Leadership had to hunt through multiple sheets to answer basic questions.
What we built:
A live Power BI dashboard that answers:
✓ Which stores are underperforming? (Rankings updated daily)
✓ How much did revenue grow last month? (MOM % at a glance)
✓ Are we hitting targets? (Real-time KPIs with trend indicators)
✓ Which products drive revenue? (Top 10 breakdown)
✓ How do weekdays vs weekends compare? (Day-over-Day trends)
The tech stack:
Data cleaned in Excel → Loaded to Power BI → Published online → Live slicers for filtering by date, store, category
Pages 2 & 3 in progress (Store Analysis + Returns Breakdown). But honestly? This work is the kind you don't post about until it's done. Now it is.
To anyone rebuilding their portfolio:
Real client work beats portfolio templates every single time. Even if you disappear from LinkedIn for 3 months, showing actual deliverables matters more than consistent posting.
