BC Application Skills

Platform Experience:
Worked across the full evolution of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Business Central platform, from early Navision 3.01 versions to modern Business Central SaaS and On-Prem environments. Experienced with both legacy C/AL codebases and modern AL extension-based development.

Business Impact:
Focused on optimizing Finance, Distribution, and Manufacturing processes by improving day-to-day operations, warehouse workflows, and financial reporting rather than simply deploying ERP software.

Module Expertise:
Strong experience with core Business Central modules including Financial Management, Cost Accounting, Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, and Advanced Warehouse Management, along with complex Manufacturing and Jobs/Projects implementations.

System Integrations:
Specialized in integrating Dynamics NAV and Business Central with external systems including CRM platforms, EDI providers, Mobile POS, 3PL solutions, shop floor terminals, and warehouse automation systems using REST APIs and SOAP services.

Industry Solutions & ISVs:
Extensive experience with leading Business Central add-ons including Insight Works (warehouse and shipping automation), PlannerOne (production scheduling), and LS Retail for retail operations.

E-Commerce Integration:
Integrated Dynamics NAV with e-commerce platforms such as Magento, Sana Commerce, and custom in-house solutions using XML Web Services, JSON, and RESTful API integrations to automate inventory synchronization, order processing, and customer data exchange.

Upgrades & Migrations:
Led multiple upgrade and migration projects from legacy Navision versions to Dynamics NAV and modern Business Central environments, including data migration, code refactoring, and transition from C/AL customizations to AL extensions.

BC Development Skills

AL & Extension Development:
I’ve spent years building out customizations for both NAV and Business Central. My focus is always on using the AL extension architecture and following Microsoft’s best practices to ensure that whatever I build is clean, maintainable, and ready for future updates.

System Integrations:
I have a lot of experience making Dynamics NAV and Business Central talk to other enterprise systems. I’m comfortable working with REST APIs, SOAP, and OData, and I'm used to handling data in XML or JSON formats to keep everything syncing smoothly.

Modern Customization Patterns:
I prefer using the publisher/subscriber event model. It’s the best way to keep the core code untouched while making sure customizations are scalable and don’t break during upgrades.

Project Management Approach:
Experienced in managing ERP projects using a hybrid Waterfall and Agile approach. High-level project phases such as requirements analysis, solution design, development, testing, and go-live are managed through structured delivery processes, while iterative improvements and development tasks are handled using Agile practices to support flexibility and continuous delivery.

DevOps & Automation:
To keep projects moving, I use Git for version control and PowerShell for scripting. I also set up build pipelines in Azure DevOps to automate the deployment process for on-prem environments.

Reporting, Power Platform & Data Viz:
I build more than just standard reports. I’ve developed complex RDLC layouts, interactive Power BI dashboards, and custom Jet or Crystal Reports to give businesses the data they actually need. Also used Microsoft Power Automate to streamline routine business operations such as sales and purchase approval workflows with automated email notifications and approval processes.

SharePoint & Workflow Automation:
I used REST interfaces to bridge Dynamics NAV with SharePoint to automate document archiving and file attachment management for ERP records and related business documents.

SQL Server Performance:
Beyond just writing code, I know my way around SQL Server. I can handle performance tuning, run diagnostics, and troubleshoot database-level issues to keep enterprise applications running fast.

Process & Lifecycle:
I’m a firm believer in solid SDLC principles. I understand the full lifecycle of an ERP project, from initial development through to go-live and support.
