Power Platform Architect & Engineer
12+ years designing and delivering Power Platform solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem — Dataverse schemas, Canvas and Model-Driven apps, Power Automate, Power Platform pipelines, Azure integrations, and full ALM governance. The Microsoft stack evolves fast. This site is where I document what I build, share the patterns that work, and stay connected with others navigating the same landscape.
Journey
The journey started in November 2013, Systems Engineer at a Microsoft Partner working across infrastructure, Exchange, Active Directory, and early Dynamics CRM. That continuous environment made the progression organic. By 2015 the work had shifted fully into Dynamics 365 development: C# plugins, JavaScript customizations, and Azure-backed integrations. When Power Platform emerged in 2019, the Dataverse foundation was already established. The move into architect-level work wasn't a role change; it was the next natural layer in a twelve-year relationship with the Microsoft ecosystem. The growth from engineer to architect has come from evolving continuously alongside the platform, the clients, and the craft.
Today the work spans the full Power Platform stack: Canvas and Model-Driven apps, Dataverse schemas, Power Automate, Power Platform pipelines, Power Pages portals, ALM governance, Agentic AI, and Azure integrations end to end. The Microsoft ecosystem doesn't slow down, and staying relevant means building continuously, not just advising on it.
The Additive Power demo environment on this site is where that continuous building happens outside of client work, a full 3D print shop operation modeled in Dataverse, with Canvas and Model-Driven apps, Power Automate, Power BI on Microsoft Fabric, Copilot Studio, and an Azure AI Foundry agentic layer connecting it all. It's a personal practice environment built to stay sharp on patterns that might otherwise only surface in client scopes. The architecture decisions, trade-offs, and lessons from building it are shared here as a starting point for conversations with others in the Power Platform community who are evolving alongside the same rapidly changing platform.
Learning by Building
Real deployments running on a personal developer tenant. Built to document patterns, not just describe them — interact directly.
Data Model
Five Dataverse tables designed the same way I build production solutions — publisher prefix, security roles, ALM packaging, and financial fields excluded at schema level.

Community
Power Platform architect based in Atlanta. Always interested in connecting with others building on the Microsoft stack — architecture questions, pattern discussions, or just comparing notes.
