Hey, I'm Josh 👋
I'm a Principal Architect at Hitachi Solutions and former Microsoft engineer. I spend my days (and many evenings) building Power Platform Developer Suite (PPDS) - a collection of open-source tools that enhance the Power Platform developer experience.
What is PPDS?
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| VS Code Extension | First-class Power Platform development in VS Code |
| SDK | Plugin attributes, high-performance Dataverse client, data migration engine |
| Tools | PowerShell module for ALM automation |
| ALM | Ready-to-use GitHub Actions & Azure DevOps templates |
Why I'm building this
I love the Power Platform and want to help developers be even more productive with it. PPDS brings code-first patterns, IDE tooling, and performance optimizations that complement Microsoft's official tools - making it easier to build enterprise-grade solutions.
What sponsorship supports
Your sponsorship helps me dedicate more time to PPDS development, documentation, and community support. Every contribution - no matter the size - keeps these tools free and actively maintained.
Thanks for considering supporting my work! 🙏
