Working as Microsoft solution architect to achieve customer satisfaction with Microsoft 365 and Azure services and enable Atos team to build robust solutions for customers.

Solution Architect (April 2021 – September 2021)

Gig Werks, USA www.gig-werks.com

Work as a solution architect to formulate project scopes estimates and solution design. Provide technical leadership and subject matter expertise on Microsoft 365 adoption, migration, modern workplace implementation and Azure cloud load. During my tenure, I have worked with several clients conducting workshops, developing proof of concepts, and creating functional and design specifications.

·         M365 Security & Compliance

·         Information Governance and tooling

·         SharePoint Multi-Geo taxonomy and structure

·         Power Platform and SPFx

Below is to showcase some of my work I have been directly responsible for:

·         MCCANN WORKGROUP: Developed a Truth2Meaning solution for business users to create ad campaigns for their customers and their products. It was a fully customized solution envisioned from McCann using Figma. My team and I transformed highly complex user interface into a fully responsive SharePoint modern experience using themes, custom components, scripts and Power Automate. I developed many custom SPFx web parts responsible for data input, aggregation and rendering as well as dynamically creating modern pages based on user’s data. I customized PnP Search web parts using custom templates with Handlebar expressions to provide a unique UI for users to interact with search results. I have developed a site wide application customizer to render custom mega menu and footer. As part of the solution, I also developed a complex power automate flow that captures all comments, likes, replies on modern pages and display them in a custom notification panel that can be shows/hidden from the menu. For all this development, I have used VS Code, SPFx, PnP Js, React, Graph, Fluent UI, PnP React components and PnP PowerShell.

·         LANDESBANK (LBBW): A financial institution based out of Germany was looking to migrate 5 tera byte of content from file share and on-prem SharePoint environment. I was responsible for assessing the inventory and documenting the migration strategy. I developed 5 complex idempotent modules in PowerShell using M365 CLI, PnP PowerShell, Azure AD App Registration, and SharePoint Online Module to be reused by the migration team. The primary function of these modules was to create SharePoint Site structure, taxonomy, content types, lists and libraries including Teams, Comms and Record Centers, apply complex permissions to the sites, teamify the sites and run migration commands using ShareGate PowerShell cmdlets e.g. Import-Document to import folders from network locations in PowerShell tasks to run them in parallel across 5 Azure VMS that have ShareGate installed. I was also responsible for setting user’s PDL (Primary data location) for multi-geo tenant. I configured Conditional Access policies for external users and migration service accounts.

·          DESIMONE CONSULTING: Built a Team Tracker Solution so that multiple teams can track their presence whether a member is on PTO, Working remotely or On Site. I built the solution using 2 SPFx web parts. One to control user’s presence using toggle (Remote or On Site) and one to allow admins to configure team members for each department which then displays all team members grouped by their presence. I used Microsoft Graph Toolkit (MGT) for this.

·          AZURE DIGITAL TWINS: As part of pre-sales, I developed a working demo (proof of concept) for potential customers that utilizes Azure Digital Twin. It simulates temperature gauge for one part of the assembly, and based on fluctuating temperature, it adjusts the temperature in other areas of the assembly line and assigns a ticket in Service Now to fix the issue. The demo project was developed using:

o    Azure IoT Hub, IoT Device, Azure functions, Azure Event Hub and SignlarR.

o    A Single Page Application was developed using React to display a Temperature Gauge and Service Now ticket information to simulate live/production system.

o    A console application in .Net to simulate temperature change on regular intervals to the IoT Device.
