- Serve as a primary point of contact for platform-related incidents, service requests, and support tickets.

- Troubleshoot Power BI report refresh failures, data connectivity issues, gateway problems, security/access concerns, and Fabric platform incidents.

- Determine root causes of issues and identify whether incidents are related to Fabric, Snowflake, gateways, infrastructure, data quality, or application development.

- Escalate issues appropriately to development teams while providing detailed analysis and recommendations.

- Support administration and optimization of enterprise data platforms and analytics environments.

- Participate in ongoing infrastructure initiatives, including server rebuilds, gateway modernization, end-of-life upgrades, and platform lifecycle management.

- Conduct code reviews and peer reviews for production-bound changes when applicable.

- Collaborate closely with BI developers, data engineers, and business stakeholders to ensure platform reliability and performance.
