I'd been stuck on the same refresh issue for weeks. Deepesh didn't give me a fix - he opened my PBIX, asked why I built the model that way, and made me redo it myself. The refresh dropped from 14 min to under 3. More importantly, I stopped repeating the same mistake on the next project.

I'd done two paid courses before and learnt nothing useful. What worked in our sessions was that Deepesh asked me to bring my actual project, not a sample dataset. We sat for an hour and tore it apart. I used the reworked version of that same project to clear my next interview at a product company.

I came in thinking I needed more DAX. Deepesh told me my DAX was fine, my modelling was the problem. That one conversation changed how I look at every new requirement now - I start from the model, not the measure. Stakeholders have actually noticed.

He reviewed a dashboard I'd been proud of and told me very politely that half of it was noise. Rough to hear, but he was right. We cut 6 visuals, fixed the layout, renamed the measures. The leadership team finally started using it on their own without asking me to walk them through it.

I'd worked in data for 5 years but never had anyone review my work this directly. Deepesh rebuilt how I approach stakeholder conversations - I stopped over-explaining and started asking better questions. I'd been following his content for months and finally booked a 1:1. Best decision I made that year.
