Chris Cusumano is a Senior Data Engineer with nine years of experience turning fragmented operational data into clear, actionable insights across airline operations, engineering consulting, auto repair, and SaaS. Since discovering Power BI in 2018 he has specialized in scalable reporting platforms, leading migrations to XMLA, building custom governance for Fabric/Power BI, and driving adoption from dozens to hundreds of monthly users. He joined Microsoft in 2026 to apply Power BI, Fabric, and AI data agents to internal reporting, bringing both hands-on ETL/architecture skills and a practical focus on usability. Chris pairs technical depth in SQL Server, Azure Data Lake/Synapse, and REST APIs with stakeholder-facing leadership—he often works directly with executives to translate business needs into automated analytics. An MBA and a background in operations give him a rare combination of data engineering rigor and operational empathy that helps deliver solutions people actually use.
