David Moss
Azure Power Platform D365 BI Solutions advisor & MCT trainer & MVP
'Ridiculously efficient' is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Kieran.
I hired Kieran as a freelance Power BI consultant after seeing his online presence, project portfolio and involvement across the Microsoft community.
Kieran's ability to juggle multiple projects was unlike anything I've seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team and project.
I was equally impressed by Kieran's communication ability. Some developers are great technically but can sometimes lack the ability to communicate in a clear and concise manner to a non-technical audience but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to him.
As a Power BI developer, Kieran earns my highest recommendation
