Alan Campbell
I help organizations running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, CRM, and Finance get dramatically more value from their technology investment — through custom Power Apps, automated workflows in Power Automate, and actionable Power BI dashboards. With over 10 years on the Microsoft Power Platform and 40+ years in business technology, I bring both deep technical expertise and real-world business judgment to every engagement.
I am now also delivering AI-powered solutions — using Python scripting and Claude Code to extend what's possible on the Power Platform, helping clients automate complex processes and integrate artificial intelligence directly into their Dynamics 365 workflows.

Code-first Power Apps built in VS Code using React, Vue, or any modern framework — with full control over UI and logic, access to all Power Platform connectors, and managed deployment inside your Power Platform environment.

Microsoft 365 & SharePoint
Deep integration between Power Platform and Microsoft 365 — connecting Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, and OneDrive to your Dynamics 365 and Dataverse solutions.
As an independent Microsoft Power Platform consultant and freelance Power Platform developer based in Mission Viejo, Orange County, California, I serve clients locally and across the United States. My practice focuses on organizations running Microsoft Dynamics 365 — Business Central, Sales (CRM), and Finance — who want to do more with the Power Platform without hiring a full internal team. I proudly serve businesses throughout Orange County including Irvine, Newport Beach, Lake Forest, Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, San Clemente, and beyond.
I have worked with Microsoft Dataverse for over 10 years — building data models, managing environments, and connecting Dataverse to Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and external systems. This deep Dataverse experience underpins everything I build, from Canvas Apps and Code Apps to Power Pages portals and AI agent solutions. I also have 10 years of experience integrating the Power Platform with Microsoft 365 — including Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, and OneDrive — connecting the entire Microsoft ecosystem for my clients.
A key differentiator in my practice is Power Apps Code Apps — Microsoft's newest capability that lets developers build full custom web applications using React and Vue directly inside the Power Platform. Unlike traditional Canvas Apps built in the visual designer, Code Apps are developed in VS Code with complete control over UI, business logic, and user experience. I also specialize in migrating and modernizing existing Canvas Apps to Power Apps Code Apps using Claude Code — transforming low-code solutions into professional, maintainable web applications without rebuilding your business logic from scratch. I also build Power Pages solutions — external-facing websites and self-service portals connected to Dataverse — giving clients' customers and partners secure access to their business data.
The most cutting-edge dimension of my work is AI agents and AI automation for the Power Platform. Using Python, Claude Code, and Model Context Protocol (MCP), I build custom AI agents and autonomous workflows — intelligent solutions that reason, decide, and act on business data with minimal human intervention. I integrate artificial intelligence directly into existing Dynamics 365 workflows, delivering a competitive advantage that very few independent Power Platform consultants offer today.
