Office 365 beyond the marketing
The Geneva deck shows the questions I cared about early: service continuity, security, privacy, control, limits, hybrid architecture, migration and what the marketing left out.
THE FIVE-MINUTE VERSION
Selected work
The pieces that best explain the progression — from cloud decisions, through low-code and VR, to software that can act for itself.
Is cloud actually the right answer?
The AvePoint session turns adoption into an architecture decision rather than an inevitability: benefits, hidden costs, vendor lock-in, control and operational change.
Building a business app from inside VR
A full developer/community session delivered from AltspaceVR, including live PowerApps development in the headset. Useful? Debatable. A very good way to discover the limitations? Absolutely.
PowerApps + Flow as an architecture, not two toys
Client experience in PowerApps, middleware and processing in Flow, with request/response between them.
Making low-code survive contact with reality
Error handling, consistent interfaces, metadata edge cases, reusable patterns and the unglamorous bits that separate a demo from a system somebody can maintain.
Semantic Publishing Protocol
An open attempt to rethink publishing for software agents: structured meaning, attribution, intent, consent and trust as first-class concepts.
DaemonCore
The current chapter: applying the old questions about authority, boundaries, governance and architecture to autonomous AI agents.
Four-time Microsoft MVP & community leadership
Microsoft’s own profile records the award history, user-group leadership, consulting, architecture and speaking across the UK and internationally.
Enterprise → cloud → automation → immersive experiments → autonomous software.
The products changed. The instinct to test what is useful, governable and real did not.
