Six solutions I designed and built end to end, one from each kind of work I do—portfolio reporting, employee intranet, AI knowledge capture, Power Apps, executive dashboards and timesheet integration. Open any one for the problem it solved and a full screenshot walkthrough.

What I do

From the first requirement to the last user trained.

01

Solution architecture

Requirements, BRDs, solution design and estimation—then the architecture decisions written down, with the trade-offs they cost.

02

Microsoft 365 & SharePoint

Intranets and portals, document management, Microsoft Graph, migration and tenant administration, online and on-premises.

03

Power Platform

Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Power BI and custom connectors, integrated with the line-of-business systems already in place.

04

AI & Copilot

Copilot Studio agents and Azure OpenAI features, with governance and cost control designed in rather than added later.

05

Workflow & automation

Approvals, case management and Nintex workflow, including regulated processes that must remain on-premises.

06

Executive reporting

Dashboards leadership actually opens—configured, not coded, and honest about partial data.
