Business software solution architect and developer specialising in Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps, Dataverse) and Microsoft 365 Suite (SharePoint, Microsoft Lists, Outlook, Teams, Excel).
I help companies build Microsoft 365 solutions to automate manual tasks, drive efficiency, and improve customer experience.
⚙️ What can I help you with
Workflow Automation
↳ Automate repetitive tasks across MS365, Outlook, and other tools
Business Apps
↳ Build custom applications that integrate seamlessly with MS365
Business Intelligence
↳ Visualise business data and track KPIs with dashboards and reports
System Integrations
↳ Connect MS365 with external systems and third-party services
Data Pipelines
↳ Extract data from multiple sources, unify and synchronise across systems
⸻
🧰 My technology stack and tools
↳ Microsoft 365: SharePoint, Microsoft Lists, Excel, Outlook, OneDrive

↳ Azure Cloud Platform: Azure Functions, MS SQL Server, Azure Data Factory
↳ Custom Code: TypeScript, JavaScript, .NET, Node.js, React
While I value proficiency with specific tools, I strongly believe that the ability to deliver software solutions is largely technology-agnostic. I'm a proponent of choosing the best tool for each job and adapting quickly to new technologies when your project requires it.
⸻
⏰ Project management
Technical skills matter, but from my experience, I learned that successful software delivery depends equally on project management.
So here are the steps I take to ensure your project is delivered on time, on budget, and in line with your expectations:
↳ Define a clear problem statement and scope
↳ Establish realistic timelines and budgets
↳ Design a solution that fits the budget
↳ Identify risks and dependencies upfront
↳ Provide regular progress updates throughout
⸻
⚖️ Why work with me
Here are a few things I think you'll find valuable from my diverse experience and the way I work:
↳ Business analysis skills. You don't need polished specs to get started.
↳ Technical proficiency. No problem is too technical for me to solve.
↳ Maintainable solutions. You get solutions that are cost-effective and fast to evolve.
↳ Pragmatic engineering. Custom code as a strategic solution, not the first option.
↳ Reliable delivery. Delivering your project is my job, not a side gig.
