Markus Franz

Markus Franz

I started my journey into the Power Platform world with zero technical knowledge—no coding background, no prior experience, and no idea where to begin. What I did have was curiosity, persistence, and a strong desire to solve problems. Step by step, I taught myself everything I know today. I began by exploring Power Apps on my own, building simple apps for internal use, and quickly discovered the potential of low-code to create real business value.

Over time, I progressed from a complete beginner to a confident maker, sharing my learnings and supporting others in the community. Today, I’m proud to be a Microsoft Power Apps Community Super User—the highest level of recognition within the community. In this role, I actively help others solve their Power Platform challenges, contribute to discussions, and give back to the same community that helped me grow. In September 2025 i was awarded MVP for Business Applications in the category of Power Apps.

My journey is proof that with the right mindset and support, anyone can become a maker. Whether you're just getting started or looking to grow your skills, I’m passionate about helping others take their next step—because I’ve been there too.
