What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles driving Power Platform and M365 automation, leading cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, low-code solutions that reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and enable data-driven decisions in collaborative, innovative environments.

I am a Microsoft 365 Solution Architect with 13+ years designing low-code, high-impact solutions across automation, business intelligence, and conversational AI. I lead flagship automation projects focused on intelligent workflow design and operational excellence.

In my current role I design and deliver solutions using PowerApps, Power Automate, Power Automate Desktop, Power BI, Power Pages and Copilot Studio, and I integrate with enterprise systems such as SAP. I prioritize scalable architectures, robust data modeling, and stakeholder alignment to drive measurable outcomes.

Key achievements include engineering a Power Automate Desktop bot that saved hundreds of business hours on tax processing, building Copilot Studio chatbots that reduced resolution times, and developing QR-enabled calibration apps with real-time Power BI reporting to ensure compliance and visibility.

I mentor teams and drive end-to-end delivery, maintaining thorough documentation, testing discipline, and user enablement. I hold PL-900, AI-900 and Professional Scrum Master certifications and actively upskill through Microsoft community programs and hands-on workshops.
