I Help Build AI-Powered Azure Integration and Agentic AI Solutions That Transform Enterprises
For over 25 years, I’ve helped organizations solve complex enterprise integration challenges using Microsoft technologies. As a Microsoft Azure MVP for more than 22 years, I design and deliver mission-critical Azure solutions built on Azure Logic Apps, Azure Service Bus, Azure API Management (APIM), and Azure AI.
Whether you’re planning a BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services migration, implementing AI-driven automation, or need a hands-on Azure architect to lead and mentor your team, I deliver secure, scalable, production-ready solutions that create measurable business value.

If you’re starting a new project with Azure AI Technologies or Azure Integration Services—or already have one underway—I’m available for both short- and long-term consulting engagements.
I work with organizations globally, supporting teams on-site or remotely, and can engage in whatever capacity fits your needs — from a few hours a week to full-time project leadership. Whether you need hands-on delivery, architectural guidance, or experienced oversight, I adapt to where your project is and what will move it forward.
Core focus areas include:
-
Azure Integration Services architecture and development
-
Azure AI and agentic solution design and implementation
-
On-site Azure Integration Services training and mentoring
-
BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services migrations
My goal is simple: reduce risk, bring clarity, and help your project succeed — whether that’s modernizing integration platforms, introducing AI-driven workflows, or enabling teams to confidently ship production-ready solutions.
If you’re looking for experienced, hands-on Azure Integration and AI support, let’s talk.
