About

I build data platforms on Microsoft Fabric.

I'm Bas Land, Microsoft Data Platform MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer. ThatFabricGuy is where I write up how I build, what breaks, and what I would do differently next time.

Client projects, training, content and conference talks. All of it on Microsoft Fabric and Power BI.

01

Fabric data platforms for clients, from ingestion to semantic model, as co-owner of Kimura Data Intelligence.

Teach

Microsoft Certified Trainer. I teach the Building Pragmatic Data Platforms Using Microsoft Fabric course at Kimura Academy.

Share

Tutorials, deep dives and the occasional opinion, here on the blog and on the ThatFabricGuy YouTube channel.

04

Speak

Conference sessions and workshops on Fabric and Power BI, including Power BI Gebruikersdagen. See talks

Why this blog

This is where I write up the things I would otherwise explain on a whiteboard: how I structure a lakehouse, which trade-offs I make on client projects, and what I am testing next.

Expect tutorials you can follow step by step, deep dives on architecture decisions, and the occasional opinion.
