HUB International - Enterprise Dynamics 365 Integration (Toptal Top 3% Selection)
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
SharePoint-Dynamics 365 Integration: Architected a solution to mirror Dynamics 365 security into SharePoint at the document level using Microsoft Graph API. SharePoint's standard access gives all site members access, so I developed a mechanism that dynamically creates folders, assigns correct permissions based on CRM ownership and security roles, and removes unauthorized sharing - all controlled from Dynamics 365. This ensures document access follows the same permission model as CRM data.
Fagforbundet - Membership Management System (400,000+ Members)

Hussopen Home Insurance
I designed and built a complete data synchronization solution using the KingswaySoft SSIS Integration Toolkit. SSIS packages were developed in Visual Studio to extract customer and subscription data from Oracle, apply transformation logic, and load the data into Dynamics 365 and Dataverse. I worked with Microsoft Fabric, including Azure Data Factory, to design the overall integration architecture. External connections to Norwegian business registers were implemented to support automated data validation.
I developed .NET back-end logic and custom Dataverse plugins for business automation. I successfully migrated all data while maintaining business continuity.
