About me
I am an Adelaide-based IT Technical Professional with a passion for bringing AI tooling and Microsoft 365 solutions to businesses. With a focus on education, exploration, and research, I help organizations multiply their work capacity by leveraging modern technology. My specialties include SharePoint, Teams, and the Power Platform, with an emphasis on well-governed and capable enterprise solutions.
Artificial Intelligence
I am skilled in various AI tools available today, such as GPT-4, Azure OpenAI, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and many others. I can personally assist organizations in exploring the potential of these tools and translating them into practical applications. With a focus on improving efficiency and effectiveness, I can help businesses harness the power of AI to achieve their goals.
Education
As an IT professional with a deep understanding of AI tools, I can help you navigate the constantly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. I'll demonstrate the capabilities of various tools such as GPT-4, Azure OpenAI, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, while also highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. By working together, we'll formulate a strategy that best suits your organization's needs and ensures you make the most of AI technology.
Implementation
Leveraging AI tools within your organization requires careful planning and justification. I can support you in running projects, interfacing with IT and business stakeholders, and responsibly deploying AI tools. Additionally, I will ensure that all legal and regulatory requirements are met, allowing you to confidently integrate these powerful technologies into your operations.
Adoption
Adopting AI tools requires a strategic and human-centric approach. I can help you develop a roadmap for incorporating AI into your organization, supporting the rollout of AI tools and preparing your team for future developments. My strong focus on ethical and people-centered implementation guarantees a smooth transition without sacrificing capability.
Microsoft 365
I have been working with organizations on implementations and management of M365 since 2008 when the tools were called the 'Business Productivity Online Suite'. Throughout that time, as the product has evolved, so have I. My key focus within M365 these days is ensuring I have an as-complete-as-possible view of what the platform is, does, and is capable of being, and helping to devise strategies for organizations to adapt that to suit their needs. My holistic approach to Microsoft 365 makes me a valuable partner for businesses looking to optimize their operations.
Governance
Effective governance is essential for maximizing the potential of Microsoft 365. I can help you develop strategies, teams, and policies to ensure that M365 is well-managed, understood, and secure while avoiding cybersecurity and data loss risks. Together, we'll create a robust governance framework that keeps your organization on track.
New Tool Adoption
Microsoft continually introduces new tools and features that can benefit your organization. I can help you understand and evaluate these capabilities, ensuring that your business stays ahead of the curve and continues to leverage the power of Microsoft 365.
Administration
Ongoing administration is crucial to the success of your Microsoft 365 implementation. I can perform the necessary tasks to keep your platform running smoothly, adapting to your organization's needs and ensuring a seamless user experience.
Development
Enhancing M365, particularly SharePoint, Teams, and the Power Platform, requires a deep understanding of the technology stack. I can help you extend these tools to create the platform you need, customized to your organization's unique requirements.
Power Platform
Having used the Power Platform tools since inception, I have a breadth and a depth of knowledge within the platform that is hard to find. While I am a capable developer specializing in Power Apps, Power Platform, and Power Virtual Agents, my key focus recently has been on ensuring the entire platform is flexible, capable, but conforms to any standards or practices required. I have seen entirely too many Power Platform environments left in the 'Default' configuration that doesn't meet the requirements of either the users or the business.
Governance
With my guidance, we'll develop a comprehensive governance strategy for your Power Platform implementation. I'll help you audit, classify, and organize your app landscape, ensuring that your citizen developers can create powerful apps without becoming a liability, while enabling your professional developers to fully utilize the platform.
Patterns and Practices
Establishing best practices for Power Platform development is key to long-term success. I'll work with you to create a set of patterns, practices, templates, guidelines, and strategies that ensure consistency, reliability, supportability, auditability, and low maintenance requirements across your Power Platform ecosystem.
Development
I'll help you qualify, architect, design, and build solutions within the Power Platform that align with your software development best practices. By bringing a sense of order to the typical chaos associated with Power Platform development, your organization will reap the benefits of a well-organized and efficient development process.
