Sandeep P S

Microsoft 365 specialist with 5+ years helping organizations get real value out of the tools they already own.

I work as a technical advisor and consultant across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem — SharePoint, Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, and AI agent development. My focus is adoption: not just building the solution, but making sure it's built well, shipped properly, and actually used.

What I do:
• Design and build SharePoint solutions, Power Apps, and Power Automate workflows
• Review citizen developer Copilot Studio agents, Power Apps, and Power Automate solutions — and drive proper ALM practices through deployment
• Simplify business problems by building Cowork plugins and agent skills
• Develop AI agents and Copilot-based solutions that fit real business processes
• Advise teams on Microsoft 365 architecture, governance, and best practices
• Run trainings and enablement sessions that help users adopt AI, Copilot and M365 faster

I share what I learn publicly — through posts, sessions, and community content — because the fastest way to scale adoption is to make knowledge easy to find.
