About Jacob Holt

I’m a Business Intelligence Developer focused on building clear, scalable Power BI solutions in ERP-driven manufacturing environments.Over the past five years, I’ve worked with teams across operations, finance, engineering, and leadership to turn complex business challenges and processes into actionable dashboards and KPI frameworks. I care deeply about data storytelling — not just presenting numbers, but structuring insights in a way that makes trends obvious, decisions clearer, and conversations more productive. My work has helped increase inventory cycle count coverage from 14% to 99.8%, reduce production stockouts, improve on-time shipping performance from 60% to 70%, and identify process bottlenecks across departments.I work extensively with Power BI, DAX, SQL Server, D365 Finance & Operations, and multi-source integrations, with a growing interest in modern BI architecture and cloud data platforms.Outside of work, I’m usually surfing, fishing, camping, taking photos, or creatively designing home improvements and fun projects with my 3D printer — I can talk your ear off about cool 3D printing, so watch out.Always open to connecting around BI, ERP analytics, operational performance, and thoughtful data storytelling.
