End-to-end analytics on a single SaaS platform: OneLake, Lakehouse, Warehouse, Real-Time Intelligence and Power BI Direct Lake.
Medallion Lakehouse on OneLake
01Unified 40+ source systems into a bronze/silver/gold lakehouse on Microsoft Fabric.
Challenge
Siloed ERP, CRM and file-based sources fed separate marts, causing conflicting KPIs and multi-day refresh cycles.
Solution
- Metadata-driven Data Factory pipelines landing raw data into a bronze Lakehouse in Delta format
- PySpark notebooks for cleansing, SCD Type 2 and conformance in the silver layer
- Gold star schemas served to Power BI through Direct Lake mode
- Git integration and deployment pipelines for Dev → Test → Prod promotion
- Sources unified
- 40+
- Refresh window
- 6h → 25m
- Single source of truth

Challenge
Operations teams detected equipment anomalies hours after they occurred, from batch exports.
Solution
- Eventstream ingesting device telemetry from Azure Event Hubs
- Eventhouse / KQL Database with update policies for enrichment
- Real-Time Dashboards and Activator alerts on threshold breaches
- Historical data mirrored to OneLake for ML feature generation
- Event-to-insight
- <10s

Synapse to Fabric Warehouse Migration
03Migrated a dedicated SQL pool warehouse to Fabric Data Warehouse with zero reporting downtime.
Challenge
Rising fixed compute costs and pause/resume overhead on a legacy Synapse dedicated pool.
Solution
- Automated schema and T-SQL compatibility assessment
- Parallel-run validation framework comparing row counts and aggregates
- Shortcuts to existing ADLS Gen2 data to avoid duplication
- Capacity sizing and workload monitoring with the Fabric Capacity Metrics app
