What I Do
I'm a Service Delivery Lead for Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform, working towards Power Platform functional consultancy. This site is where I build things, break them, and write up what happened.
Fault Investigation
Diagnosing and resolving live Dynamics 365 and Power Platform issues, delivering fixes and workarounds, and logging defects for development.
Configuration Delivery
Taking change requests from the initial business conversation through testing, change control and deployment.
Hands-On Builds
Canvas and model-driven apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Power Pages, AI Builder and Copilot Studio agents — built end to end against realistic scenarios in my own environment.
Writing & Speaking
Technical write-ups here, and speaking at the Dynamics 365 & Power Platform UK User Group.
