My Journey
From curious developer to seasoned software artisan, here's how I've evolved in the Microsoft ecosystem
Learn Beyond BC Platform
2024 – Present
Architected and launched a modular learning hub focused on reverse engineering Business Central and mastering advanced AL development.
This isn’t just another tutorial site—it’s a movement. Built from real-world experience across continents, LearnBeyondBC blends deep tech with narrative-driven teaching.
Now that I’ve earned your attention, let’s go beyond the basics. Learn above and beyond BC and it's ecosystem. AL Go!
Senior BC Architect | Software Artisan
2020 – Present
Leveled up into enterprise-grade Business Central architecture—starting with an Australian ISV solution powered by top-tier tech stacks like Azure Functions and Blob storage inside BC (yes, it’s possible).
From Australia to the US and Europe, I collaborated across continents, meeting legends (most of them with no MVP titles, but MVP-level minds). These global engagements sharpened my consulting edge and deepened my expertise in performance tuning, modular integrations, and scalable deployments.
New Era: MS Dynamics NAV Developer to BC Pioneer
2017 – 2019
This era marked my deep dive into LS Retail and legacy NAV 3.0, laying the groundwork for the transition to Business Central. I trained colleagues in PowerShell scripting for Extension V1—yes, even the HAHAHA moments were part of the grind. I traveled across Southeast Asia—Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam—implementing LS Retail as the front-end and MS Dynamics NAV as the ERP backbone.
I was honored to be trained by Microsoft Philippines alongside Daniel Rimmelzwaan, the MVP himself. That journey wasn’t just technical—it was foundational, shaping my cross-border deployment skills and solidifying my role as a NAV-to-BC transition architect.

MS Dynamics NAV Developer
2014 – 2017
A blessing in disguise: transitioned from .NET and web development into the world of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 3.0 and LS Retail POS/Hospitality. Engineered custom C/AL solutions and deployed scalable systems for local retail and food chains—marking the beginning of my legacy in Microsoft Dynamics NAV architecture.
The Beginning
2012 – 2014
Launched into software development as a .NET Developer and full-stack web developer, driven by a relentless curiosity to understand how complex platforms tick.
I cut my teeth on VB 6.0 and FoxPro, then leveled up to VB.NET with raw ADO queries—just as AJAX and jQuery were redefining the front-end frontier.
It was the wild west of web dev, and I dove in headfirst.
Then came PHP, where I found joy in doing things my way—hand-rolled PDO queries. Ah, I loved it—and I still catch myself singing “Forever young, I want to be forever young.”
It was messy, magical, and unforgettable—those early days of building my dream.
