Experience
BizTalk360
http://www.biztalk360.comOnce your BizTalk solutions are developed and taken to production, you begin supporting them and operating them on a day-to-day basis. 在这一点上，您的支持人员会不断地遇到各种挑战.
The standard tools, like the BizTalk Administration Console, are not designed or appropriate for ongoing support and operational activities. For example, 控制台缺乏许多基本功能，例如基本的用户访问和对支持人员执行的活动进行审计跟踪. In some cases, 标准的BizTalk控制台太强大了，不能交给没有经验或没有BizTalk的人.
The other challenge is on the BizTalk monitoring side; once your BizTalk solutions are deployed to a production environment, it's important to keep an eye on their health. For example, you need to get notified if a receiving location or host is down. Currently, BizTalk的客户需要依赖外部工具，比如Microsoft System Center Operations (SCOM)或HP Operations Manager (HPOM)。. SCOM has a good management pack for monitoring the BizTalk server, 但是，随着BizTalk应用程序的增长，设置SCOM和持续管理警报的复杂性变得越来越具有挑战性.

Integration of AI-based Micro Front Ends into Dynamics CRM
我在Dynamics CRM中开发了两个微型前端的集成，将客户开发的基于ai的增强功能带入他们的机会管理用户界面. 其中一个前端经过调整，可以在Dynamics CRM中使用Iframes和带有SAML安全性的SSO工作. The second was developed from the ground up, using Angular to implement a subset of the back-end functionality, matching Dynamics CRM look and feel.
Monitoring Managed Services Product Migration to Azure
合作伙伴使用azure托管版本的产品远程管理客户的门户. For this cloud transformation project, 我构建和设计了api，使用Azure服务总线中继将客户实体发布到托管的Azure服务中, 通过在Azure虚拟机中运行产品，我完成了一个提升和转移到云端的过程.
This was later followed with an improvement project to use cloud native capabilities; for example, 使用Azure应用服务来托管基于web的组件，使用Azure SQL数据库来托管由客户和合作伙伴在Azure SQL数据库弹性池中隔离的关键应用程序数据，以减轻成本问题.
