As a technology consultant focusing on Microsoft technologies, including Dynamics CE, Power Platform, and Azure DevOps, I have learned that the most crucial factor in enabling long-term digital transformation success is the relationships built between clients and colleagues.I studied Paleontology and Evolution at the University of Bristol, where I used advanced statistical and computational techniques to resolve questions related to evolutionary biology. From here, I became increasingly interested in using technology to resolve problems not just in academia, but in wider industry in general.I have worked across a multitude of roles within both the public and private sectors, including: ● Business Analysis ● Data Analysis ● UX Design ● Project ManagementI work closely with clients to derive business and functional requirements and identify opportunities for digital technology to improve customer and team experience. I've achieved this using various methods, including creating user stories, high-fidelity wireframes, and developing process maps for developers to create high-value Microsoft solutions.Outside of work, I look to continue the development of my coding capabilities, hiking and organising an occasional fossil collecting trip.If you wish to get in touch, don't hesitate to get in touch with me on LinkedIn.Key Skills:Microsoft Dynamics CE | Microsoft Power Platform | Microsoft DevOps | Microsoft Azure | Agile | Waterfall | Business Analysis | Data Analysis | Business Intelligence | UX Design | RPA
