Riccardo Perico

Back in 2010 I started working in Information Technology.
After a brief experience as ERP Consultant, I moved into Data Realm.
I spent these years exploring Data world from different points of view, both as DBA and Business Intelligence Engineer.
I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional at different levels in databases, BI and Azure areas.
Microsoft MVP for Data Platform category.
Technical reviewer for Power BI books.
I'm one of the leaders of Power BI User Group in Italy and I'd been speaker during the Power Platform World Tour and Power Platform Bootcamp stops in Italy.
I'm also speaker during Azure Saturday, SQL Saturday, Global Azure and Data Saturday events in Europe.
Last but not least, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal addicted!

These are some of the Data Communities and Events where you can find me.
