What I build

Three parts of the Power Platform stack I work in daily, end to end.

Power Apps development

Canvas and model-driven apps, designed around real business requirements — forms, role-based workflows, and Dataverse data models built for data integrity at scale.

Power BI & reporting

Semantic models and interactive dashboards that turn a stakeholder's question into a fast, trustworthy answer — including performance tuning with DAX Studio and Tabular Editor.

Platform integration

Connecting Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Dataverse into one dependable system — plus custom connectors where the out-of-the-box tools stop short.

Toolkit

Grouped the way I’d group them on a project plan, not an alphabetical list.

Power Platform

Power Apps · Power Automate · Dataverse · Copilot Studio · SharePoint · Custom Connectors

Data & BI

Power BI · DAX · Power Query (M) · Data Modeling · Microsoft Fabric · Databricks

Programming & query

SQL · Python · JavaScript · REST APIs · ETL

Delivery & collaboration

Work experience

May 2021 to present, drawn to scale — because that’s how I’d chart it myself.
