• Title : Enabling Secure, Credential-Free Authentication in Dataverse
• Summary:
• (Learn More: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/managed-identity-overview)
• 🔹 Implemented token acquisition via Managed Identity for DV full-trust workloads, eliminating credential management risks.
• 🔹 Support for token acquisition for customer workloads running on sandbox, enabling them to bring their own identity without need for managing their credentials.
• Impact Delivered:
• 1M+ organizations moved from insecure SAS tokens to a zero-credential Managed Identity model, strengthening security across Service Bus.
• 1M+ plugins now authenticate using their own identity without managing credentials, reducing risks of privilege escalation & credential leaks.

• Project Title: Modernization of Synchronous Workflows to use CoreWF for .NET6 Compatibility:
• Summary: Re-engineered legacy synchronous workflows from WWF to CoreWF, ensuring seamless functionality and significant performance gains on the .NET6 platform.
• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/customize/workflow-processes?view=op-9-1
• Impact: Unblocked Dataverse migration to ASP.NET Core, achieving up to 50% performance improvement. Currently, 1M+ such workflows are created and 1B+ executed on per day basis
• Actions:
• Conducted a comprehensive analysis and comparison of WWF alternatives (Logic Apps, PowerFx, CoreWF) based on scalability, performance, backward compatibility, and ease of migration.
• Developed a PoC for sync workflow CRUD operations using CoreWF. Onboarded CoreWF from the open-source repo and configured its release pipeline for Dataverse consumption.
• Built and integrated comprehensive tests covering CRUD operations, supported triggers, and no-code operations to ensure no regression during the transition to .NET Core.
