Kais Rekouche — Product Manager
Senior Power BI Developer with 15+ years of experience in insurance and retail, specializing in Power BI platform delivery at enterprise scale. My analytics journey started in the insurance industry, where I built BI solutions using SQL and DAX, long before Power BI existed, through Power Pivot in Excel. That foundation has shaped how I think about data modeling and measure design ever since. My MS in Mathematics and Statistics has been a consistent asset throughout, giving me a strong analytical backbone that translates directly into how I approach semantic modeling, time intelligence, and business metrics. At Canadian Tire Corporation, I've had the opportunity to take on an expanded scope, maintaining the enterprise semantic model, authoring advanced DAX measures, and building custom time intelligence metrics on a non-standard fiscal calendar, as is typical in the retail sector. Over the course of my career, collaborating with consultants from Microsoft and Avanade has helped me develop solid DAX optimization skills, covering areas such as query performance, storage engine efficiency, and measure design best practices. I also handle Power BI deployments including pipelines, RLS, and application governance, and have stepped into data engineering responsibilities in Azure Synapse, working with T-SQL, PySpark, and Python. I make a point of staying current with the Power BI ecosystem, regularly incorporating the latest features such as calculation groups, field parameters, user-defined functions, and Fabric capabilities into my daily work. I'm genuinely passionate about coding and technology. There's always a better DAX pattern to discover, a more efficient query to write, or a new platform feature to explore, and that's what keeps me engaged every day.
