Hi, I’m Thomas.

I’m an IT Solutions Architect with over 15 years of experience designing, deploying, and supporting enterprise automation platforms in real-world environments. I’ve spent most of my career building, inheriting, fixing, and maintaining systems that were meant to make work easier — and learning firsthand which ones actually do.

I work with tools like Power Automate, Power Apps, SharePoint, PowerShell, and AI-assisted workflows, helping teams automate everyday processes without quietly creating long-term technical or operational debt.

Codes with Coffee is where I step away from slide decks, vendor hype, and “perfect world” demos. This site is about practical automation — the kind that has to survive changing requirements, staff turnover, security reviews, and the reality of production systems that grow over time.

You’ll find two kinds of content here:

• Hands-on tutorials — step-by-step guides for building useful automations, templates, and flows (like automating out-of-office replies or creating repeatable Planner setups).

• Architecture and governance insights — lessons learned from seeing what works, what breaks, and what slowly becomes a problem months after something ships.

My goal is to help developers and IT professionals build systems that are understandable, maintainable, and still make sense six months from now — not just systems that technically “work.”

When I’m not building or reviewing automations, I’m usually experimenting with new tools, gaming, cooking, or spending time with my family — almost always with a cup of coffee nearby.
