About me
The most valuable thing IT has given me is not technical knowledge. It is the ability to start over and over again. That's why new concepts don't scare me as much anymore – and I like sharing that experience, in case it helps someone feel the same way.
Do you still remember writing DTD definitions and doing XSLT transformations? Or constantly buying programming books just to improve yourself? That was IT less than twenty years ago.
Do you remember how many technologies you have already forgotten you ever used? Have you ever tried Flash or Silverlight? I have since successfully forgotten Web Forms, PHP, and much more. IT never stops and technology changes at an incredible pace. I still remember using SOAP or WCF for communication – and today you cannot get by without concepts like Protocol Buffers or GraphQL.
But it was not just the technology I had to change. I had to change entire business domains. I started with GIS systems for facility management and network mapping – spending five years there. Then came the ecommerce world and with it nopCommerce. Retail led me into the banking sector, where I have been ever since – for seven years now.
Every transition was uncomfortable at first. But every one of them pushed me forward.
The turning point came at a bank where I was working as an architect. That's when I first saw, on a real project, that a low-code platform could deliver real value in an enterprise environment – not as a workaround, but as a tool that genuinely made sense to me. Since then, it's been a topic I enjoy sharing.
And that is also why I started writing this blog – for colleagues who have been on the same projects for a long time and do not get the chance to try new approaches very often. Or who are simply afraid to try something new.
I would like to share my perspective on how to adopt AI and what has worked for me with Power Platform – without the unnecessary hype, with practical examples and real-world experience.
I try to give every technology a fair explanation – no sales pitch, no academic jargon, just plain language. I don't always get it perfectly right, but that's what I aim for, in a way that makes sense to a business person and a technologist who is just getting started.
