What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise Dynamics 365 architecture—combining Dataverse, Power Platform, Azure integrations, and Copilot-ready AI—while enforcing Zero-Trust security, governance, and CI/CD controls for scalable ERP–CRM transformations.

I’m a Dynamics 365 Enterprise Architect with 11+ years delivering cross-cloud solutions across CE, F&O, and Business Central. I specialize in Dataverse architecture, Power Platform engineering, and scalable ERP–CRM modernization built for enterprise multi-region deployments.

I lead end-to-end architectural strategy and discovery—driving requirement analysis, process mapping, fit-gap evaluations, and composable solution blueprinting. I engineer distributed, event-driven integrations with Azure API Management, Service Bus, Event Grid, Logic Apps, and Functions, using microservices orchestration to connect hybrid systems.

I also champion secure AI adoption with Microsoft Copilot extensibility, Azure OpenAI orchestration, RAG workflows, and workflow optimization across sales, service, and finance. As a hands-on mentor to consulting teams (6–7 professionals), I align governance, Zero-Trust security, CI/CD controls, and global compliance so transformations scale with confidence.
