Senior Power Platform Solution Architect & Pro-Dev Security Specialist.

Microsoft Certified Solution Architect Expert (PL-600) with a Computer Science degree and a background in advanced cybersecurity. I specialise in enterprise-scale architecture, Pro-Dev extensibility with React, TypeScript and PCF, and Application Lifecycle Management across complex cloud and legacy environments.

Proven track record of auditing, refactoring and delivering secure, API-driven workflows for Banking and Energy leaders.

services

Three areas, one engineering approach

Low-code delivery speed with pro-dev standards: source control, pipelines, code review and a security model designed before the first screen is built.

Architecture & Portals

Solution architecture for enterprise Power Platform programs: Dataverse data models, B2B/B2C portals and automated backend flows, integrated with the ERPs your business already runs on.

  • architecture design
  • power pages & power apps
  • dataverse & erp integration

Pro-Dev Extensibility & ALM

When the platform hits its ceiling, I extend it with real code: PCF controls in React and TypeScript, C# and Node.js backends, custom connectors — released through Azure DevOps pipelines instead of manual solution exports.

  • pcf controls (react / typescript)
  • custom connectors & rest apis
  • azure devops & ci/cd alm

Security, Governance & AI

Selected for CyberChallenge.IT — the national programme in offensive security, ethical hacking, binary analysis and applied cryptography. That background is why I design Dataverse security, DLP policies and tenant governance before anyone writes a flow.

  • dataverse security & dlp
  • coe starter kit & governance
  • copilot studio & azure ai

open source

Ancorhash

Environmental compliance and Web3 notarizer. Tamper-evident field reports: the hash is computed locally, anchored on-chain, and the measured parameters are extracted with AI. My flagship open-source project — the clearest demonstration of how I build.

github.com/N0g4D/azure-web3-notarizer .NET 10 · React · Polygon

01

Zero-data-leakage anchoring

The SHA-256 digest is computed inside the browser via the native Web Crypto API. Only those 32 bytes reach the backend, written into the data field of an EIP-1559 transaction on Polygon. The document itself never leaves the operator's device — which matters when the report carries personal and commercially sensitive data.

02

Gas-sponsored relayer

The organisation never touches a wallet, a private key or a token: the backend signs and pays. A notarization on Polygon mainnet costs around $0.0008 in gas, priced live from an on-chain estimate and a CoinGecko oracle. Verification is symmetric — recompute the hash, compare it on-chain, trust nobody.

03

Opt-in AI extraction

With explicit consent, Azure AI Document Intelligence and a domain parser turn a scanned form into strongly-typed values — water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen as decimals, not OCR noise. A receiving system can compare them against a threshold the moment the report is uploaded, instead of weeks later.
