01 / SELECTED WORK

Less theory.
More built.

A selection of public tools, experiments, and open-source projects. Built to make complex enterprise technology useful.

02 / FRONTIER TRANSFORMATION

Frontier finance.
Built for decisions.

I help finance teams connect SAP, governed data, and AI engineering—turning fragmented reporting into repeatable analysis, explainable decisions, and controlled action.

THE FRONTIER FINANCE STORY

From assembling numbers
to understanding the business.

Finance teams need a consistent account of what happened, why it changed, and what to do next. My approach starts with trusted financial logic, adds agents that can explain the evidence, and brings people into the decisions that matter.

MY HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE

Governed FP&A data layers. Model-to-P&L mapping. Volume/mix variance analysis. Data-quality exception queues. Read-only finance data agents.

I connect these builds with finance discovery and HVE workshop coaching, translating business requirements into working, testable software.

01 / FP&A

Explain the forecast.

Connect actuals, budgets, and forecasts to consistent dimensions. Surface variance drivers and draft commentary grounded in approved data.

  • Volume, price, and mix analysis
  • Explicit scenario assumptions
  • Analyst review of explanations
Learn: variance analysis ↗Microsoft’s referenced feature is prerelease.
02 / P&L AUTOMATION

Make every number traceable.

Build a governed P&L preparation flow: map source models and accounts, apply approved calculation rules, reconcile control totals, and route exceptions.

  • Separate units from prices and dollars
  • Calculate in SQL, Python, or semantic measures
  • Trace reporting lines back to source

03 / CORPORATE FINANCE

Move the close forward.

Design automation for reconciliations, intercompany exceptions, close coordination, and management reporting—with clear ownership and review.

  • Match transactions and investigate differences
  • Prepare evidence and reporting narratives
  • Keep approvals ahead of financial postings

HOW I BUILD

Hyper Velocity Engineering.
Speed with a specification.

I apply a structured engineering loop to finance use cases. HVE Core brings reusable agents, prompts, instructions, and skills to GitHub Copilot; finance rules and acceptance criteria give the work its direction.

  1. 01

    Research

    Understand the decision, source systems, finance rules, and process bottlenecks.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Define the data contract, user experience, permissions, and acceptance criteria.

  3. 03

    Implement

    Use GitHub Copilot and VS Code to build bounded Python, SQL, agent, and workflow changes.

  4. 04

    Review & improve

    Check totals, evaluate grounded answers, review with finance, and feed lessons back into the specification.

THE TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION

Enterprise context.
Connected intelligence.

I choose the components around the finance process, data boundaries, and operating model.

Connect & model
SAP and approved planning extracts → Fabric Lakehouse / OneLake → governed SQL and Power BI semantic models.
Reason & explain
Fabric data agents for grounded questions; Microsoft Foundry and Azure OpenAI for custom agentic logic.
Orchestrate & review
Copilot Studio, Teams, Power Automate, and Logic Apps for user interactions, exception routing, and approvals.
Govern & observe
Microsoft Entra ID, scoped permissions, lineage, evaluation, and activity logs—with access and data boundaries designed explicitly.
THE DESIGN PRINCIPLE

Financial calculations stay deterministic. AI explains and assists. Finance retains accountability.

Public Microsoft references
Architecture patterns informed by Microsoft documentation.

04 / ENTERPRISE EXPERIENCE. BUILDER ENERGY.

At the intersection
of what’s next.

I bring deep SAP and cloud experience to the frontier of applied AI. My work spans architecture, hands-on prototyping, and helping teams connect technology decisions to business outcomes.

As part of Microsoft Frontier Company, my focus is practical: bring enterprise context into AI engineering, build with customers, and make trust a design principle from day one.
