Hi, I’m Faisal Fareed.
Almost two decades across enterprise ERP and Microsoft Business Applications have taken me from product development and hands-on engineering to solution architecture, delivery leadership, practice building and AI.
I still like being close to the difficult part of the work. That can mean defining a target architecture, challenging a delivery decision, reviewing X++, shaping a migration, troubleshooting an integration, helping a team get through cutover or turning a new AI capability into something an enterprise can actually govern.
I work across Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Business Central, Power Platform, Azure and AI. My focus is practical outcomes: systems that can be delivered, operated, supported and explained.
Different roles. The same habit: own the outcome.
Build
X++, .NET, Business Central extensions, Power Platform, portals, integrations, APIs, automation and proof-of-concepts.
Architect
ERP transformation, multi-entity solutions, Azure integration, Dataverse, analytics, security, ALM and operating models.
Move data
SAP, Oracle, AX and legacy migrations into D365 with mapping, ETL, DMF/DIXF, reconciliation, mock loads and cutover.
Lead delivery
Scope, resourcing, risk, architecture governance, release readiness, go-live, hypercare and BAU transition.
Grow people
Recruiting, coaching, code and design reviews, capability frameworks, mentoring and distributed team leadership.
Keep learning
Community, speaking, writing and hands-on experimentation with AI agents, MCP and the next generation of business applications.
Writing, community and code make the learning visible.
I use this site to document what worked, what failed and what I would do differently. Speaking and community work keep the ideas grounded. GitHub will become the companion layer for runnable samples, X++ utilities, migration patterns, MCP demonstrations and integration recipes.
