About Dan

I am a Lansing-based business systems, BI, and Power Platform professional who helps teams make operational work easier to see, trust, and improve. My work sits where process, data, and practical technology meet: Power BI reporting, Dynamics 365, Dataverse, Power Automate, Freshservice ITSM, validation workflows, and technical documentation.

Focus

I turn scattered requests, reports, and system details into clearer workflows and usable decision support. That includes validating report logic, documenting processes, improving handoffs, and building systems that make work easier for technical and non-technical teammates.

What I Bring

Business systems thinking - I connect the process, people, and data behind the tool.

Reporting discipline - I care about definitions, validation, refresh behavior, and the story behind a metric.

Power Platform execution - I use Microsoft tools to reduce manual work and improve visibility.

Operational empathy - I write documentation and build workflows people can actually use.

Working Principles

Clarity before complexity.

Reliable data beats pretty dashboards.

Documentation is part of the system, not an afterthought.

Good automation should make people more confident, not more confused.
