Who is asking? · per-user Power BI vs a service principal
One question decides how a governed dashboard is licensed, secured and paid for: when the query reaches Power BI, whose name is on it — the person, or the application?

Solutions architect at the Powerhouse Museum. I write here about the systems I build and run — event-driven platforms, cloud infrastructure, and AI agents in production.
Featured · AI context management
myAI — give any agent a memory it never loses.
The centrepiece of my recent work: a self-owned, git-versioned brain that plugs into any AI agent so it boots already knowing your projects and decisions. Local-first, MCP-native, open source.
- Git-versioned memory you own — sessions are commits, wrap-up is a merge
- Boots with a token-cheap diff instead of re-reading everything
- A specialist agent fleet + an autonomous overnight runner
- One local MCP gateway serves your context to every agent
