Dataverse & Solution Architecture
Part of
Microsoft Power Platform·Led by a certified solution architect
The problem
Power Platform spreads fast. Without a deliberate foundation you end up with sprawling environments, ungoverned automations, security no one can explain, and apps that can't be safely changed. The demo worked; the system didn't.
My approach
I design the foundation first: a clean Dataverse data model, an environment and ALM strategy (dev/test/prod, solutions, release process), security roles, and DLP, so everything built on top is fast, safe, and maintainable. This is the architect-level work most consultants skip.
The part that decides whether the rest holds up
Most Power Platform problems trace back to a foundation nobody designed. I lead with the architecture: the Dataverse tables, relationships, and keys; the environment strategy that separates dev, test, and production; the solution and release process that lets changes ship safely; and the security and DLP policies that keep the platform a safe place to build.
Migrating what you already have
Legacy data in SharePoint lists, Excel, or Access rarely maps cleanly into a well-structured Dataverse model. I treat that migration as an architecture task (shaping the target model first, then moving the data into it) so you don’t carry old problems into the new system.
Governance as a feature, not friction
Environment strategy, DLP, and Dataverse security roles are designed to make the right thing easy and the risky thing hard. Documentation and a clear handoff mean your team can govern it after I’m gone.

- A governed platform that scales without turning into shadow IT
- A data model and security model your whole solution can trust
- A release process that ships changes safely, not by hand
