Senior Power Platform Strategy & Automation Consultant - Microsoft Garage, CCF Fast-Track Group

Leading enterprise automation strategy and workflow design with Power Automate, Copilot Studio, Power BI, Frontier, Scout, and Azure Logic Apps.

What I Build

AI that ships, not slideware.

Every engagement ends with something running in production: an agent answering questions, a workflow moving data, a dashboard driving decisions.

🤖

Copilot & Custom AI Agents

Agents built in Copilot Studio and Azure OpenAI that answer questions, enforce compliance, generate plans, and take action across your Microsoft 365 estate. I built a Copilot agent at Microsoft that automated feature and release planning with 16 criteria-based inputs.

AI-Infused Automation

Workflows that trigger on schedules or events, transform and route data between systems, send alerts, verify permissions, and eliminate tedious work - with AI in the loop where it adds judgment.

Intelligent Dashboards & BI

Power BI and Fabric dashboards that aggregate critical data at a glance - with Copilot-assisted analytics on top. Don't have the data yet? I'll build the system that collects, organizes, and surfaces it.

Recommendations

What leaders at Microsoft and Dell say.

A sample of 28 recommendations on LinkedIn from former managers and colleagues.

Jason is proficient in the entire technical stack at Microsoft - Azure, M365, ADO, SharePoint, Power Platform, Power Automate, Power BI/Fabric, and AI/Copilot. He always gives 110% and is someone I trusted and relied upon to get the job done. I would hire him back immediately.

ElizabethDirector, Solution Strategy - Microsoft

Jason very quickly took reams of data and technical information and put it in formats that helped leaders make critical, time-sensitive decisions. He democratized the program data - accelerating progress by empowering others.

JoelDirector - Dell Technologies · PMP, Six Sigma Black Belt

One of the most skilled and knowledgeable Power BI resources I have ever worked with. He quickly understood our business needs and translated them into actionable insights through powerful visualizations and dashboards.

KesavakumarSr. Release & Software Quality - Microsoft

One of those rare individuals with strong people management skills and solid technical know-how. While an innovator, Jason is solution-focused, bringing a can-do attitude to all his work - truly a pleasure to be part of his team.

AnnSr. Program & Project Manager - Microsoft

His work always exceeded my high expectations, and he was always first to encourage a higher standard on the team and enforce best practices amongst his peers to show the way forward. Jason was also critical in helping keep the team motivated, well trained, and focused. As a team member, Jason also is just a great guy to work with, a real strong-culture guy. Laid back, easy to work with, highly adaptable to changing requirements and conditions, and just a guy you'd want to spend all day in the trenches with.

EvanSr. Program & Project Manager - Microsoft

Jason and I worked together in building the top internal portal for learning and readiness @ Microsoft. Jason managed our most technical web and content publishing customers. Jason was very adept at using the platform and focused customization to build the expected web experiences for very demanding customers. I would recommend Jason for challenging web production work and I would hire him if I had the chance.
