What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead Business Central improvements—owning end-to-end delivery, integrations, and migrations—while partnering with stakeholders to optimize workflows, write clean AL code, and ship reliable, maintainable ERP solutions.

I’m a results-driven ERP professional with over 20 years of experience, including 5+ years specializing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC). I bring strong functional expertise in process analysis, solution design, and workflow optimization, backed by deep technical proficiency in AL development, customization, integration, and migration. I’m Microsoft-certified as a Dynamics 365 Business Central Functional Consultant, with a focus on clean code and scalable architecture.

Across manufacturing, trading, and sales, I’ve delivered end-to-end ERP implementations and upgrades—especially legacy NAV to BC. I lead GAP analysis, create functional specifications, collaborate closely with stakeholders, and support testing, UAT, deployment, and post-go-live. I also mentor junior developers to raise quality and consistency across solutions.

I’m proud of outcomes that make systems easier to govern and faster to use: workflow approval matrix improvements, role-based insights dashboards, seamless dataflow from new fields to the General Ledger, and a construction module integrated with BC’s Project, Purchase, Sales, and Finance modules. I also automate document workflows with Power Automate and build maintainable features like standard cost updates and automated serial/lot assignment rules.
