Welcome to Yoder Coder: Notes from the Power Platform Frontier

Howdy—and welcome to Yoder Coder, where tech meets tenacity out on the Power Platform frontier.

I started this blog to carve out a space for practical insights, hard-earned lessons, and real-world solutions from my work as a solution architect focused on Microsoft’s Power Platform. I live in Texas, but I work in a digital landscape that’s constantly shifting—one where low-code tools like Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dynamics 365 are helping businesses move faster, smarter, and with less friction.

This blog is for two groups of people:

• Clients and business leaders looking to make sense of the Microsoft ecosystem and use it to solve messy, real-world problems.
• Consultants and makers navigating the same wild terrain I do every day—those who want real talk about what works, what breaks, and how to bridge the gap between business needs and technical execution.

Expect posts on everything from architecture decisions to Power Automate quirks to ways of working with clients that build trust and deliver value. Some posts will be tutorials, others will be case studies or hard-won observations from the field. My goal is to share what I’ve learned (and am still learning) in a way that’s useful, grounded, and occasionally a little gritty.

Thanks for stopping by. Let’s ride.
