Technical Manager · BI & Data Platforms · .NET
I turn ideas into products and data into decisions, and I build the teams that keep doing it.
I introduced business intelligence to an organization that had none and grew it into a core product and a dedicated unit with hundreds of users; I hired and mentored the team and owned the roadmap. Today I work in the BI organization of a large international company, where I built data pipelines on Microsoft Fabric and am now building Compass as its replacement platform. Strong in Power BI, data warehouse and ETL/ELT design, with a backend foundation in C#, ASP.NET and SQL Server, plus end-to-end product experience from startups and e-commerce. Comfortable working across several teams, from requirements analysis and architecture decisions to team training.
Every product begins as an idea in the dark.My work is switching it on: from idea to product, from data to decisions.

Four stories
Four things I've built. Open one for the summary, then “Read more” for the full story.
-
I have launched several startups and products, on my own and inside companies. I own the whole path: brand and user experience, engineering, search visibility, deployment and infrastructure.
- Visual identity and brand, UI/UX thinking, search visibility (SEO), site design through to publishing, hosting, servers and DNS.
- Vidoal (co-founder, 2015 to 2018): a Persian-language learning platform with a custom CMS, online examination system and interactive learning modules. People's Choice awards for best educational website at the Iran Web and Mobile Festival.
- KindIran: an Iranian travel and photography brand and website, including an immersive audio-visual gallery built with Three.js.

-
I introduced business intelligence to an organization with no prior exposure. The first dashboard became an operational product used by hundreds of people and the start of a dedicated BI unit that I headed.
- Stakeholder interviews and needs analysis, then ETL and data modeling, then the first operational dashboard.
- The dashboard became one of the company's core products. That success led to a dedicated BI unit: I hired and mentored the team and owned the BI roadmap.
- Full data lifecycle from ETL to reporting on Power BI Server, SQL Server, SSIS and SSAS.
-
At a large international company I built data pipelines on Microsoft Fabric. When Fabric and SharePoint were removed from the company's ecosystem, I started building Compass as the replacement platform.
- End-to-end ETL/ELT pipelines on Microsoft Fabric (Lakehouse, Notebooks, Dataflow Gen2), with automated refresh and orchestration through Fabric Pipelines.
-
Four online stores delivered end to end, from the first line of code to launch, on ASP.NET, C#, SQL Server and nopCommerce.
- Backend-focused web and e-commerce development as team lead at Axolon, using ASP.NET / C#, SQL Server and nopCommerce.
- Custom software, e-commerce and BI-oriented web solutions for international and local clients at ViDevelop, as solution designer and technical lead.
- Examples of my online stores:
- farzana.ae arizoon.com
