EMS RA CAD Events App
Problem: FDM RMS was being phased out, so the team needed an internal replacement without losing critical operational functionality.
Fix: I reverse engineered the existing workflow and rebuilt the experience as a Power App for internal use, preserving the process in a modern, maintainable solution.

EMS Lecture Workshop Power App
Problem: The process depended on a legacy spreadsheet-based workflow that was manual, outdated, and time-consuming to manage.
Fix: I replaced that old Excel-driven process with a modern Power App that fit into the team's current flow and made the operation hands off for roughly 70% of the time.

A few things I've learned that supercharge my workflow.
AI Pair Programming
Treat AI tools like an intern. Give precise, bounded instructions and always review the generated code architecture before integrating it into your main branch. It speeds up boilerplate by 3x.
Minimalist Architecture
Adopt a "Scandinavian" approach to your codebase. Keep interfaces clean, functions pure, and avoid over-engineering. Negative space in your code (comments and readability) is just as important as in design.
Swiss Grid Layouts
When in doubt about UI, rely on rigid geometric grids and stark typography. High contrast not only creates an immediate 'premium' feel but completely solves accessibility contrast issues.
Life Beyond Code
Balance is the key to sustainable engineering.
When I'm not architecting AI solutions or debugging complex systems, you'll find me exploring the outdoors or traveling. I believe that stepping away from the screen provides the clarity needed to solve the toughest technical challenges.
