Job Title Microsoft Power Platform Mentor / Solution Architect – Live Step-by-Step Training Job Description I am looking for an experienced Microsoft Power Platform Developer / Solution Architect who can mentor me live while we plan and build a realistic business application step by step. I am not looking for someone to simply build the application for me. I want someone who can teach me how to think through the solution professionally. The work will mainly involve: * Power Apps / Model-Driven Apps * Dataverse * Power Automate * Security roles and permissions * Solutions and environment configuration * Error handling and logging * Testing and documentation Before implementing each feature, I want us to discuss: * What is the business requirement? * What questions should we ask? * What are the possible solutions? * What are the pros and cons of each option? * Which option would you recommend and why? * How will the solution be maintained or expanded later? For example, I do not want someone to simply say, “Create this Dataverse table” or “Build this flow.” I want to understand why we are using that approach, what alternatives exist, and what a professional Power Platform developer would normally consider. Session Style Sessions will usually be around 1 hour and live through screen sharing. Ideally, we will: 1. Discuss the requirement. 2. Brainstorm possible approaches. 3. Decide on the best solution. 4. Implement it together. 5. Test it. 6. Review logging/error handling. 7. Document important technical decisions. I would prefer to perform much of the implementation myself while you guide me. I also want you to challenge me with questions such as: * Why would you choose this approach? * What other option could we use? * What happens if the flow fails? * How should this be secured? * How would this scale? * How would you explain this design to another developer or manager? The exact application will be discussed privately, but it will be similar to an internal business/workflow application using Dataverse, Model-Driven Apps and Power Automate. Ideal Freelancer I am looking for someone who is: * Strong in Power Platform, Dataverse, Model-Driven Apps and Power Automate * Experienced in designing complete business solutions * Patient and good at teaching * Comfortable discussing architecture and pros/cons * Able to explain why, not only how * Comfortable doing live mentoring instead of taking the project away and building it alone When applying, please tell me: 1. Your Power Platform experience. 2. Your experience with Dataverse and Model-Driven Apps. 3. Whether you have mentored developers before. 4. How you would structure a typical 1-hour session. 5. Your hourly rate.

Hi, I see the value in a mentorship approach for building your Power Platform application. Based on our discussions, we could structure our sessions to delve into each feature's business requirements, explore various solutions, and collaboratively implement the best approach. To clarify, could you specify any existing applications we're building upon or integrating with? Additionally, do you have a target timeline for this project that we should keep in mind? In our sessions, we'll focus on understanding the rationale behind each decision, allowing you to gain the insights necessary for future maintenance and expansion. Expect a practical, hands-on approach, where you'll lead the implementation with guidance to ensure you grasp the nuances along the way. Having led similar Power Platform projects, I'm well-versed in effectively navigating Dataverse and Model-Driven Apps. Looking forward to discussing this further. Best regards, Mohammad

I like your approach because good Power Platform development is less about knowing which button to click and more about understanding why a solution should be structured a particular way. For each 1-hour session, I would start with the business requirement and questions we would ask in a real discovery session. We would compare possible approaches, discuss tradeoffs around security, maintainability, licensing and scale, then you would recommend an option before we implement it together. We would finish by testing failure scenarios, reviewing logging/security, and recording the important architecture decision so you learn both implementation and professional solution-design reasoning. I am comfortable letting you perform most of the implementation while I challenge your assumptions and guide the architecture rather than taking the project away and building it myself.

You don't want someone to build the app and hand it over—you want a mentor who works through it live, so you understand why each design choice beats the alternatives, and you do most of the implementation while I guide and challenge you. That teaching-the-thinking approach is the right way to actually learn this, and it's how I'd run it. I work in the Power Platform—Power Automate and Dataverse-backed automation in the M365 stack—and behind that I have 9 years of full-stack architecture, which is where the "why" really comes from: data modeling, security roles, error handling and scaling are the same judgment calls whether it's Dataverse or a SQL backend, and that's exactly what you're asking to be challenged on. How I'd structure the hour: 10 min on the requirement and the questions we should be asking, 10 min weighing 2-3 approaches with trade-offs, ~30 min you implementing while I guide and push back ("what happens when this flow fails? how does this scale? how would you defend this to a manager?"), then testing, a look at logging/error handling, and a couple of lines documenting the decision and why. I'll be straight: I'm strongest on the architecture reasoning and Power Automate; if your app leans heavily on advanced Model-Driven Apps specifics, tell me the scope so I can confirm I'm the right fit before we start. What kind of business process is the app modeling? That tells me if it's squarely in my lane.

Your search for a mentor to guide you through professional Power Platform solution design, akin to architecting a robust business application from the ground up, is precisely what I excel at. I understand you're not seeking a developer to hand off tasks, but a seasoned architect to impart strategic thinking and practical implementation knowledge, mirroring the process of building a complex solution with a clear architectural vision. My approach will be hands-on, live, and focused on teaching you the "why" behind each decision. We will leverage Dataverse for a scalable data model, design efficient Power Apps (Canvas and/or Model-Driven) with a focus on user experience and business logic, and automate workflows using Power Automate, ensuring robust error handling and governance. We will meticulously configure security roles and permissions within environments, and manage the entire development lifecycle using Power Platform Solutions. To best tailor our sessions, could you elaborate on the specific business problem you aim to solve with this application? Also, what is your current level of experience with the Power Platform components mentioned? I'm eager to discuss how we can best achieve your learning objectives.

Hi, this is exactly how I prefer to teach Power Platform—why first, build second. I’ve designed production Power Apps/Model-Driven Apps using Dataverse, Power Automate, Solutions, security roles, environment strategy, error handling, logging and ALM. I’ve also mentored developers through real business scenarios, challenging their design decisions rather than simply giving them formulas. My typical 1-hour session: 10 min requirements/questions → 10 min architecture options → 30 min guided implementation → 5 min testing/error handling → 5 min documentation + next steps. Rate: CAD $40/hr (slightly above the posted range for senior architecture mentoring). You’ll build it yourself; I’ll make sure you understand why you’re building it that way.

I can mentor you step‑by‑step as you design and build a real Power Platform business application, focusing on how a solution architect thinks: requirements, questions, alternatives, pros/cons, security, scalability and long‑term maintainability. I’m experienced with Model‑Driven Apps, Dataverse, Power Automate, solution layering, environment strategy, error handling and documentation for enterprise clients. I’ve mentored developers before, guiding them through structured sessions where they implement most of the work while I help them reason through the architecture. A typical 1‑hour session includes: clarifying the requirement, exploring possible approaches, selecting the best design, implementing together, testing, reviewing logging/error handling, and documenting key decisions. My goal is to help you understand why each choice is made, not just how to build it. I’ll challenge your reasoning, highlight trade‑offs, and help you think like a Power Platform architect. If helpful, I can outline a session structure or a learning roadmap next. Juan Pablo

I don’t build apps for clients who want to learn. I coach them while we design and ship one together. That’s the only way I work on mentoring jobs. You stay in the driver’s seat. I challenge every decision, force the trade-off discussion first, and only then do we implement. Relevant experience (kept short) 7+ years on Power Platform, primarily Model-Driven Apps + Dataverse + Power Automate for internal business/workflow systems Multiple full-lifecycle solutions (security roles, solutions, ALM, error handling, logging, documentation) Have mentored both junior developers and citizen developers in live sessions exactly like the format you described How I structure a typical 1-hour session 5–7 min – Clarify the real business requirement and the questions we still need answered 10–12 min – Brainstorm 2–3 viable approaches, list pros/cons, recommend one and explain why a professional would choose it (including maintenance and scale) 25–30 min – You implement while I guide (I only take the keyboard if you get stuck)

I can mentor you through the Power Platform solution exactly as a professional architect would—focusing on the reasoning behind each decision, not simply building it for you. We’ll work hands-on with Power Apps/Model-Driven Apps, Dataverse, Power Automate, security roles, solutions/environments, error handling, logging, testing and documentation. For every feature, I’ll help you clarify requirements, compare alternatives, understand trade-offs, select the right architecture, and consider scalability and future maintenance. A typical 1-hour session would be: requirement discussion → architecture/options → recommendation and rationale → guided implementation (you drive) → testing → failure/security review → documentation and next steps. I’ll actively challenge your decisions with real-world questions so you develop independent solution-design skills. I can share relevant Power Platform experience and mentoring approach during the interview, along with my hourly rate. The goal is to make you capable of designing, building and confidently explaining production-quality Power Platform solutions yourself.
