About

Data Mozart is a personal blog focused on topics related to…data (of course). So, everything related to databases (both relational and non-relational), business intelligence tools and techniques, data integration, data analysis, visualization, etc.

My name is Nikola Ilic and I make music from the data. I’m really passionate about everything related to data. I have multi-year experience working with various flavors of data, predominantly with Microsoft’s BI stack. Therefore, I will write in most cases about Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, SQL Server, T-SQL, Azure, etc. But, since I’m really curious by nature and always trying to learn something new, I will also consider writing about other data-related tools and techniques.

Why Mozart? Since I’m located in wonderful city of Salzburg (Austria), which is worldly known as “City of Mozart”, I was brave enough to use the name of one of all-time greatest composers and artists.

I’m also a Microsoft Data Platform MVP, Pluralsight Author, Microsoft Certified Trainer, and certified Fabric Analytics Engineer, Azure Enterprise Data Analyst, Azure Data Engineer, and Power BI Data Analyst.

In my spare time, I love hanging out with my family (wife and two kids) and I also enjoy cooking.

I am also a true football (soccer) and Barça fan!
