Development on Microsoft 365 with Azure
Bio
I'm a Cloud Developer Advocate for Microsoft focused on Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Graph and a contributing member of the Microsoft 365 Patterns and Practices team.
I started developing collaborative applications on SharePoint, and now have expanded this to include the whole Microsoft 365 cloud and parts of Azure. Before joining the Cloud Advocacy team I worked in the One Commercial Partner team, where I helped partners build applications on Microsoft 365.
Prior to that I was an Office development MVP and worked for BlueMetal Architects, where I led their SharePoint practice. I also worked at the very first Microsoft Technology Center near Boston, where I helped hundreds of customers design collaborative applications, often building out the hard/risky parts in our Proof of Concept labs.
