I’m the founder of m365.show and datascience.show, two independent platforms and content hubs dedicated to spotlighting innovation, strategy, and community voices in the Microsoft ecosystem. My work focuses on bridging enterprise needs with the fast-moving capabilities of tools like Microsoft Fabric, Power BI Copilot, and the broader Power Platform — areas where data, AI, and low-code solutions are transforming how organizations work, decide, and scale. With over a decade of experience at the intersection of technology and storytelling, I lead and organize livestream events, interviews, and hands-on demos that bring clarity to Microsoft's most complex offerings. These events serve thousands of viewers across industries, helping IT leaders, data professionals, and decision-makers keep pace with change — and make confident moves toward digital transformation. Through m365.show, I provide insights on the evolving Microsoft 365 landscape, from governance and compliance to collaboration and automation. On datascience.show, I dive deeper into analytics, AI, and the data stack — especially how Microsoft Fabric is reshaping enterprise data architecture and how tools like Copilot in Power BI are changing how business users interact with data using natural language. As a speaker, host, and curator, I’m passionate about making advanced technology accessible and relevant — not just for developers and architects, but also for media, analysts, and business audiences trying to understand what these trends mean in practice. If you're a journalist or content creator covering the future of work, AI in the enterprise, low-code/no-code solutions, or digital transformation within the Microsoft ecosystem, I’d be happy to contribute. Whether it's on-the-record commentary, demos, community trends, or expert takes on announcements from Microsoft, I'm always open to a conversation. 📨 Let’s connect — I welcome media inquiries, collaborations, and guest opportunities.

I have over 30 years experience as an Electrical Engineer, Technical Writer, and Documentation Manager. I worked in technical areas including avionics, systems integration, mobile software, SaaS. Several years ago I left the corporate world to care for sick parents. I supported myself building websites, writing technical “how-to” books, and leading online courses. Now, with family issues behind me, I have the time to take on some freelance clients. My atypical career path taught me to work well with a wide range of clients and audiences. Clients like Honeywell and Microsoft, McGraw-Hill and other book publishers, even pre-IPO startups. Audiences from computer beginners, to B2B buyers, to engineers building aircraft systems. I'm skilled at learning complex technologies like VPNs and cryptocurrencies. And I excel at turning that raw data into understandable content for a target audience. I am looking to contribute to projects that need these skills. I'm particularly interested in subjects that empower individuals such as online privacy.
