Summary

With six years of experience in developing and deploying customized solutions using Power Platform and SharePoint, I have been deeply engaged in all phases of the software development lifecycle, from gathering requirements to design, development, testing, and providing production support.My expertise includes building custom applications and extensions with SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and leveraging native SharePoint features, optimizing solutions for both on-premises and cloud environments. Additionally, proficient in Power BI, enabling the creation of data-driven reports and interactive dashboards that empower business intelligence initiatives, includes implementing role-based access security in PowerApps through SharePoint Groups and Microsoft Flow, as well as automating crucial workflows, such as contract expiration reminders and hazardous material management, using Power Automate.

Have also developed custom forms and automated operational processes like ticket management, employee recognition, and document approval workflows. Utilizing PowerShell, streamlined SharePoint administrative tasks, such as site classification, retention policy management, and user provisioning. I have overseen SharePoint Online migrations from legacy systems, ensuring seamless content transfer and permission configuration with tools like Share gate, and enhanced daily workflows by integrating Office 365 tools like Yammer, Planner, Delve, and Teams. With a strong focus on data security, implemented measures including encryption, authentication, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, .NET, and C#, used these web technologies to extend SharePoint’s capabilities and connect it to diverse data sources, such as SQL databases, Excel, CSV, and SharePoint lists, building dynamic, data-rich applications. Guided by agile principles, particularly Scrum, and used tools like Jira to track projects and enhance collaboration.
