Shabnam Watson

Bio

Shabnam is a data and AI architect, consultant, speaker, and Microsoft Data Platform MVP specializing in Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. A lifelong data enthusiast, she has spent more than two decades working with data, starting with SQL Server and the traditional Microsoft BI stack before finding her passion in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric. She has been working with Fabric since its early private preview, long before it became generally available. Based in the Atlanta area, USA, she is the founder of ABI Cube Corp, a data consultancy focused on helping organizations turn data into meaningful insights. Beyond her consulting work, Shabnam is deeply involved in the data community. She regularly presents at conferences around the world, leads workshops, creates training content, and shares practical tips through her blog and YouTube channel. She is especially passionate about helping others learn Microsoft Fabric and Power BI and grow their careers through continuous learning and certification. When she is not working with data, she enjoys gaming, science fiction, and gardening—though she is just as likely to spend her free time exploring a new Fabric feature or helping someone solve a tricky data problem.
