I am a #PowerAddict and Microsoft MVP alumni. I started this passion with Excel. I quickly used Power Pivot and Power Query technologies in 2010 and 2013 which led me to take charge of Power BI afterwards. I like to share, so I created the blog http://cooking-excel.com/. Naturally, I discovered the Power Platform and realized how much it would change the lives of companies. Therefore, I co-founded Neoreeds in 2018 to create business intelligence solutions and business applications using Microsoft Power Platform. Then I joined Abalon, a team of Microsoft and Power Platform enthusiasts and experts!
