Dynamics 365 Lead Developer delivering enterprise CRM, Power Platform automation, and Azure integrations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Dynamics 365 Lead Developer with 10+ years of experience delivering enterprise Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CE), Power Platform, and Azure-based solutions. I’ve built business outcomes across Healthcare, Logistics, Financial Services, and Retail.
In my recent work, I support HIPAA-compliant healthcare operations by designing Dataverse solutions, custom plugins, and JavaScript customizations. I build secure REST/SOAP integrations using OAuth and Microsoft Graph API, and I drive workflow automation with Power Automate, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and Azure Service Bus.
I also deliver AI-powered automation using Microsoft Copilot Studio, AI Agents, Virtual Agents, and Assist AI—turning service requests, case routing, and knowledge retrieval into repeatable workflows. In logistics, I led CRM architecture and cloud integration patterns while implementing DevOps practices for CI/CD, release, and solution lifecycle management.
A hallmark of my approach is scalable, reusable design: I’ve created integration frameworks to standardize communication with external systems and optimized plugins and tuning to reduce manual operations by 35%. I’m at my best partnering with solution architects and business stakeholders to modernize enterprise CRM and improve operational visibility.
