GUEST BIO (Nat Van Gulck) 👤

I started my career over twenty years ago as a .NET Software Developer while also developing an interest for Data Visualization. This led me to work on Qlik and Tableau data projects. Then Power BI became so compelling that I had to join Microsoft. As a Cloud Solutions Architect I help customers be successful with Power BI; PBI Inspector is part of this endeavor. The adventure continues with Microsoft Fabric.
