About the Author:

I’m a Microsoft Power Platform enthusiast working in Belgium. In my career as an IT specialist, nothing was an unknown domain, Cisco networking, Microsoft servers, IBM hardware specialist, automation via PowerShell, … But, It all started at the Microsoft Business Application summit in 2018 (Seattle), where I was blown away by the possibilities of “Power Automate” (at that time named “Microsoft Flow“) and the Power Platform. My journey took first a short detour, getting to know “Azure”, but I never lost the connection with “Power Platform“. I took the big step in 2020 to concentrate entirely on the Power Platform with links towards Azure services. In 2019, I came in contact with the community. Became a member of the #BEPAFUG in Belgium, speaker, blogger and became part of a big warm family #FLOWFAM, #POWERADDICTS, #COMMUNITYROCKS
