JUNIOR POWER APPS DEVELOPER

BUSINESS ANALYST & SYSTEMS DEVELOPER

 In my role, I’ve taken on the challenge of developing a complex canvas app with offline capabilities. Albeit still in development, the app boasts intricate offline capabilities and serves as a cutting-edge file auditing tool designed specifically for surveyors. To ensure seamless data management, I’ve integrated it with a robust Dataverse backend.
 

In addition to this, I’ve crafted a model-driven app tailored for a survey manager. This app is a testament to my commitment, enthusiasm, drive and resourcefulness to Power Platform solutions and industry compliance.
 

Furthermore, I’ve delved into the realm of financial analysis, where I’ve harnessed my expertise to examine costings comprehensively. One of the standout achievements is the creation of a 6-month prediction model using linear regression in R. This model has not only demonstrated my analytical prowess but has also provided valuable insights, suggesting a transition from Alchemer, a pre-existing software solution, to harnessing the power of Power Pages on the Power Platform. This strategic move promises to unlock new efficiencies and capabilities for Baker Stuart operations.
