Joseph L.

Principal Consultant

Joseph leads client engagements at Sound BI, owning both the relationship and the delivery from first workshop to production. He specializes in Microsoft Fabric data platforms and the hard problem underneath most analytics work: making the data trustworthy before anyone builds a dashboard on it. His recent work centers on enterprise entity resolution and data quality, including a Fabric build that reconciled 31,000+ demographic record changes in a single run with zero merge conflicts. Before Sound BI, he led client operations, data analytics, and interoperability for healthcare organizations. His background is in Informatics.
