Tomas Prokop

Tomas Prokop

Hello! I'm Tomas Prokop, a Microsoft MVP in Business Applications. My journey in IT began back in high school, when I discovered my love for programming through web and mobile application development. I worked on projects with ASP.NET and Android apps development early in my career.

My introduction to Microsoft technologies came through the Microsoft Student Partners program, and I've been an active participant in local community events ever since. In 2016, I had the incredible opportunity to work at the local Czech Microsoft team, where I supported startups in maximizing their use of Microsoft tools through the BizSpark program. It was during this time that I discovered Microsoft Dynamics, and I was instantly captivated by the platform's potential and the challenges faced by customers and the Microsoft Partner ecosystem.

Shortly after, my fellow MVP Jan Hajek and I decided to start our own business called NETWORG, focusing on consulting and developing Microsoft business applications. This venture coincided with the introduction of Microsoft Power Platform and the heart of it – Microsoft Dataverse, which we believed was the perfect tool for developing line of business apps and automating business processes. As our firm grew, we continued to adopt and leverage cutting-edge tools and processes, such as CI/CD and DevOps, to ensure the highest quality for our clients.

With years of experience in Microsoft Power Platform and .NET systems on Microsoft Azure, I am committed to sharing my knowledge and helping others succeed in the world of Microsoft business applications.

I focus on Pro Dev experiences in Power Platform. My projects use both client-side and server-side extensibility of Power Apps, custom connectors, external Azure services, automated testing and all of it delivered through advanced Azure DevOps ALM. My background is in Dataverse, former Dynamics CRM/XRM, .NET and Azure used on wide range of projects.

Connect with me online or visit the Czech Microsoft office for our monthly Power Platform meetup. Register at https://ppug.community to join the fun!
