Craig White

Craig White

I started off writing VBA and making pretty spreadsheets in a Finance department, which morphed into SQL Server tools & BI and then into SharePoint on-prem. After many joyous years of InfoPath & SharePoint Designer, I embraced Power Apps and Power Automate on launch and loved them, and the wider Power Platform ever since.

The past 8 years have been spent working as a Power Platform Developer, Lead and Architect and now working with customers to help them empower their workforce to embrace the Power Platform. I've learned a great deal about these low code tools that I'm sharing through my blog and other community events.

I'm delighted to be recognised as a Microsoft MVP for Power Apps since January 2024.
