Merlin Stoffels

My days consist of a mix of client meetings, technical workshops, architecture sessions, and internal coordination with account teams. I help organizations modernize their data and AI platforms, carry out migrations, and derive more value from their data.

I work daily with technologies such as Microsoft Fabric, Azure Databricks, Power BI, Purview, and other Azure Data & AI Services. In addition, I design data architectures, oversee proof-of-concept projects, and assist clients with issues related to governance, security, analytics, and AI.

In addition to the technical side, I spend a lot of time on stakeholder management: I translate business needs into technical solutions and ensure that different teams are on the same page. I regularly lead workshops and training sessions and oversee both strategic and operational projects.

My key skills include cloud and data architecture, problem-solving, communication, presentation, project coordination, and bridging the gap between business and technology. I often serve as the link between clients, account teams, and technical specialists.
