Hi there, and thanks for stopping by!
I’ve finally decided to start this blog, something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. If you’re someone who works with data, wants to work with data, or simply enjoys seeing the “magic” behind good dashboards and smart insights, you’re in the right place.
My name’s Lazar, and I’m a software engineer and data professional with years of experience helping businesses make sense of their numbers. I’ve worked across industries, designing and building solutions that bring clarity, focus, and better decisions. Whether it’s turning raw spreadsheets into polished Power BI reports, modelling data across complex systems, or diving into DAX to solve tricky problems, this is what I do, and what I love doing.
So, what’s this blog about?
Put simply: sharing what I know, in the hope that it helps someone else. I’ll be posting practical tips, tricks, how-to guides, examples from real-world projects, and lessons I’ve learned the hard way. Mostly around Power BI and Microsoft’s data platform – tools like DAX, SSIS, SSAS, and the wider data ecosystem – but also touching on broader data modelling concepts and good practices.
Think of this space as a mix of technical walkthroughs and friendly advice, like having a chat with a colleague over coffee, but about Power BI instead of weekend plans (although I’m up for both).
My goal? To help you get better at what you do, avoid the pitfalls, and maybe even enjoy the journey a little more.
Whether you’re just starting out or deep into your data career, I hope you’ll find something useful here. And if you ever feel like reaching out – to ask a question, share your thoughts, or just connect – don’t be shy.
Let’s start talking data.
Cheers,
Lazar
