Arslan Malek Power Apps, Copilot Studio & Enterprise Automation

About

I design governed Power Platform products, AI agents, and automation systems that help enterprise teams replace manual work with secure, measurable digital workflows.

My experience spans Intact Financial, BMO, Nestlé Canada, Loblaw Companies, and Shoppers Drug Mart, where I have delivered Power Apps, Copilot Studio agents, Power Automate flows, Dynamics 365 extensions, Power Pages portals, Dataverse models, Power BI dashboards, and Azure/Snowflake data pipelines.

The through-line is practical architecture: solution design documents, reusable components, role-based security, Center of Excellence (COE) kits to govern the platform, ALM, compliance review, and mentoring citizen developers so the platform scales without becoming chaotic.
