- Integrate data from multiple sources into Power BI dashboards and ensure data connectivity.
- Collaborate with SIOC Information to identify visualization requirements.
- Produce clear, professional visual outputs for senior management briefings and operational updates.
- Ensure data integrity, consistency, and visualization clarity.
Results/Expected Outputs: - Interactive Power BI dashboards and visual data products tailored to SIOC needs. - Enhanced visual representation of security data, enabling better situational awareness. - Improved capacity of SIOC Information to provide timely, data-driven products to the Security Management Team. - The development of capacity through coaching, mentoring, and guidance during the assignment. - Final statement of achievements reflecting the volunteer's contributions to Power BI and data visualization enhancement.
- Demonstrated experience in Power BI dashboard development, data visualization, or business intelligence reporting.
- Strong skills in data integration, analysis, and visualization.
