I build Microsoft 365 apps from inside the business. By day I do ops work — payments, disputes, reconciliation — and that direct view of user pain is what drives every solution I design. In the AI era, knowing what to build is the edge.

Coding is the easy part. Knowing what to build is the real skill.

I'm a Power Platform Developer who builds Microsoft 365 solutions from inside the business. By day I do the operations work — cash applications, disputes, reconciliation — and that direct exposure to the friction users live with is what informs every solution I design. The best apps don't come from polished requirements docs; they come from sitting next to the people who'll use them.

At FedEx, I proposed and shipped CaseLog — a Canvas App + Power Automate + SharePoint solution now processing 7,500+ daily case actions for 150+ users across 3 stations, replacing paper and Excel workflows. It earned VP-level recognition, a PPQA nomination, and a speaker slot at the GTA Metro District Quality Conference (April 2026), where it's under evaluation as a candidate solution for broader network rollout. I'm now leading its v2.0 migration to Dataverse with a Model-Driven layer and full ALM. Pursuing PL-400 (May 2026).

Power Platform Solutions

Power Apps (Canvas + Model-Driven), Power Automate, Dataverse, SharePoint — enterprise apps with role-based security, ALM, and audit trails.

Operations + Code

I do the day-to-day ops work I'm building for. That's why my solutions get adopted — they fix what users actually struggle with, not what looks neat on a spec.

Full-Stack Foundations

C#/.NET, React, Next.js, Node.js, SQL — strong code chops back the low-code work. Custom connectors, REST APIs, and Azure AD integrations when out-of-the-box won't cut it.

What I'm working on

Building what the business actually needs — not what looks neat on paper.

AI can write code now. The differentiator is understanding the business problem well enough to know what's worth building. I sit with users, find the friction, and ship the apps that fix it — on Microsoft 365, with the rigor of full ALM.

Power Platform Solutions

Canvas + Model-Driven apps backed by Dataverse or SharePoint, with role-based security, full ALM (Dev/Test/Prod managed solutions), and Power BI dashboards. Built for adoption — not just demos.

  • Power Apps
  • Dataverse
  • Model-Driven
  • SharePoint
  • Power BI
  • ALM

Workflow Automation

Power Automate flows for conditional routing, Microsoft Approvals, Teams adaptive cards, SLA escalations, and audit trails — replacing fragile email chains and Excel handoffs with workflows that hold up under audit.

  • Power Automate
  • Custom Connectors
  • Microsoft Approvals
  • Teams Adaptive Cards
  • SLA Escalations
  • REST / OData

Custom Code & Integrations

When low-code hits its ceiling, I drop into C#/.NET, Node.js, or React. Custom connectors, Azure AD app registrations, REST/OData integrations, and full-stack web apps — the escape hatch when out-of-the-box doesn't cut it.

  • C# / .NET
  • React / Next.js
  • Node.js
  • Azure AD
  • REST / OData
  • SQL Server

Tools and technologies I work with daily.

  • Architected and deployed CaseLog, an enterprise operational tracking solution on Power Apps (Canvas), Dataverse, and SharePoint — scaling it from a single-station pilot to a daily decision-making layer for 150+ users across 3 stations, and giving those stations their first auditable case-management record
  • Engineered pro-code platform extensions: custom C# Dataverse plug-ins for backend validation logic, and PCF controls in React and TypeScript where standard low-code UI hit its limits
  • Designed event-driven Power Automate cloud flows for KPI pipelines with production-grade error handling, scoped retries, and failure notifications to eliminate silent failures
  • Ran full Agile delivery and ALM — requirements gathering, UAT, and strict Dev/Test/Prod deployments using managed solutions
  • Built the executive reporting tier in Power BI using star-schema data models and DAX measures tracking aging, SLA compliance, and operational trends
  • Wrote delegation-safe Power Fx — timezone-correct date filtering, indexed column strategies, gallery pagination — to keep the app responsive at scale
  • Outcome: VP-level recognition, a quality-award nomination, and selection to present at the GTA Metro District Quality Conference
