Summary

With seven years of extensive professional experience, I have specialized in designing, developing, and implementing robust SharePoint and Power Platform solutions. My expertise includes creating custom SharePoint web parts and extensions using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) to enhance functionality and user experience, and developing interactive dashboards with Power BI that deliver data-driven insights for informed decision-making. I am proficient in configuring SharePoint lists, views, and libraries to align with business needs, and have automated workflows with Power Automate, streamlining processes to boost productivity. My experience also includes designing both model-driven and canvas Power Apps, transitioning from legacy technologies to modern tools, and integrating Dynamics 365 with APIs and PowerShell scripting to extend solution capabilities. I have implemented critical security protocols like encryption, authentication methods, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to safeguard SharePoint environments. Additionally, I am skilled in web development using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and C#, and have successfully managed SharePoint migrations from on-premises to cloud-based solutions. My background in agile project management and deep understanding of the software development life cycle ensures the delivery of effective and efficient projects from conception to deployment and maintenance.
