Hello I’M Michael

Trusted by more than 1,000+ companies around the world

Hi, I’m Michael Boisvert

I’ve spent the last decade helping businesses turn raw data into real insight. As co-founder of FreshBI, I jumped into the BI world early—while most of my peers were still figuring out what they wanted to do.

“My job is to make YOU look good.”

I’m a Microsoft-certified Azure Solutions Architect, and I’ve spent years consulting on financial analytics, ML/LLM strategy, and scalable BI platforms. But honestly, I’m not just here to crunch numbers—I’m here to make them work for you.

North America-based

Always hands-on (yes, I run my own servers at home).

And when I’m not building systems, I’m probably out rock climbing because scaling data problems and climbing walls both take focus, adaptability, and a healthy respect for risk.

From “You Do Computer Stuff, Right?” to BI Trailblazer

FreshBI didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with a question I heard fresh out of high school:
“You do computer stuff, right?”

That one sentence launched me into a world of building smarter systems for businesses. I dropped out of university on day one and joined Craig, a visionary thinker with game-changing ideas

Together, we built FreshBI not just as a consultancy but as a lifestyle. We challenged traditional consulting models by ditching static scopes and moving to retainer-based solutions that evolve with our clients’ needs

Our first Power BI subscription was $100. Today, we’re running systems for 20+ retained clients and counting.

Where I Add Value

Speaker & Collaborator

I speak and partner with visionary teams to unlock data-driven growth and strategy alignment.

Artificial Intelligence

I blend AI and LLMs with real-world use cases to create scalable, human-centered solutions.

Data Platforms

From architecture to implementation, I craft secure, Azure-powered ecosystems that turn raw data into strategic power.

Pixel-Perfect Dashboards

I design AI and BI dashboards that actually get used because they’re clear, fast, and aligned with real decisions.

The FreshBI Way

We’re not here to sell software. We’re here to understand why you think you need it in the first place

Every engagement starts with deep listening. Most clients come in thinking they know the solution. But after a few layers of “why,” we often uncover a better path forward.

We ask bold questions. We challenge assumptions. We find the core business problem and build from there.


We don’t just build dashboards. We build better business thinking.

My BI Philosophy


I don’t believe in dashboard overload or disconnected tools. My focus is on BI systems that scale—technically sound, visually clear, and easy to use. Here's how I work:

Cloud-Native Architecture

Azure-first solutions using Data Factory, Power BI, Synapse, and beyond.

Solutions

Usability Over Noise

 If it doesn’t make sense to your team, it doesn’t belong in the dashboard.

Dashboards

Fast, Secure, Repeatable

 Every system I build is designed for clarity, speed, and scale.

Systems

Human-First Data

The best BI is invisible—it empowers your team without getting in the way.

Data

Beyond the Dashboards

I believe in extreme personal responsibility. It’s a mindset that shapes my work, my decisions, and how I lead teams. Everything is either mine to own—or it’s out of my control. That clarity keeps me focused

A few truths I live by:

“Doing hard things is OK.” Most people avoid hard problems. I chase them down.

“Let the machines do what they’re good at. Let humans do what they excel at.”

"Everything can, and should, be integrated. No system is sacred."

When I’m not architecting BI systems, I’m reading Hacker News, climbing walls, or listening to audiobooks about people solving hard problems. Creativity thrives in unexpected places.
