Hello – I’m Richard Anderson, a seasoned developer and solutions architect with a passion for transforming ideas into impactful solutions. With over a decade of experience in the tech industry, I currently serve as an Enterprise Architect at Incremental Group, where I specialise in designing and implementing robust, scalable, and innovative enterprise solutions using the Power Platform and Azure.
My journey in the tech world has been diverse and enriching. I’ve had the privilege of working across multiple industries, each with its unique challenges and opportunities. From the dynamic world of Retail & Manufacturing to the fast-paced sectors of Finance and Travel, my career has allowed me to develop a versatile skill set and a deep understanding of various business processes and requirements.
A significant part of my expertise lies in my extensive experience with Microsoft’s Power Platform. Since the days of CRM 4.0, I’ve been closely involved with the evolution of this powerful suite of tools. My work has not just been about leveraging technology, but also about understanding and forecasting how these advancements can redefine business strategies and customer experiences.
In this blog, I aim to share technical insights, experiences, and learnings from my professional journey. Whether it’s discussing the latest features of the Power Platform, offering tips for budding developers, or diving deep into the nuances of developing, I hope to create a space that not only reflects my professional growth but also serves as a valuable resource for others working within the Power Platform.
