Hi, my name is James D. Bartlett III (@JamesDBartlett3 on GitHub, Mastodon, and LinkedIn), and I'm a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst at Des Moines University in Iowa, USA.

I spend the majority of my free time:

• Contributing to various open-source projects using and/or relating to:
  • Power BI
  • PowerShell
  • SQL Server
  • Power Apps
  • Power Automate
  • Python
  • Linux
  • Home Automation
  • IoT
  • Raspberry Pi
• Co-organizing the Iowa Power BI User Group on Meetup.com
• Giving presentations at meetups, user groups, conferences, and livestreams
• Blogging at DataVolume.xyz and PowerBI.tips
• Volunteering with Tech Journey (a local nonprofit whose mission is "to inspire youth to increase their knowledge and interest in technology by providing engaging learning opportunities led by technology professionals")
• Mentoring students and beginner data professionals on CodeMentor.com

With your sponsorship, I can dedicate more of my free time to community/open-source projects for which I am otherwise not compensated, but which have proven extremely useful to many people in the data community, such as:

• PowerBI.tips Business Ops (a single app that installs and manages dozens of community-developed External Tools for Power BI Desktop)
• Power BI Version Control (a user-friendly, no-code version control app for Power BI report authors, based on Power Apps and SharePoint)
• PowerBits (scripts, templates, external tools, and other handy stuff for working with Power BI)
• DevBoxSetup (scripts and configuration files for streamlining the setup process on Windows and Linux development workstations)
• PoshBits (useful and time-saving PowerShell scripts for various routine tasks)
