About
Technical Consultant for Power Apps, Dynamics 365 CRM and Business Central
The short version
I’m a Technical Consultant at Allgrow Technologies, building and supporting business applications on Microsoft’s stack. Day to day that means Power Apps and Power Pages on Dataverse, Power Automate, Dynamics 365 CRM customisation and plug-ins, and connecting all of it to Business Central, Finance and Operations and Dynamics NAV.
The work runs from sitting with business users to pin down the requirement, through the build, UAT and deployment, to fixing whatever production turns up afterwards. A lot of it is integration: making sure what happens in an app or a portal lands correctly in the ERP behind it.
Built Properly is where I write up what that work teaches me: the patterns that held up, the ones that did not, and working code for both.
Day to day
Canvas and model-driven Power Apps, Power Pages portals and Power Automate flows, built on Dataverse.
