Back in December I introduced a Node.js script that automates SPFx environment setup—pick a version or an alias like SPO or SP2019, and it works out the right Node.js, Yeoman, generator, and task runner versions by querying the npm registry directly instead of relying on a hardcoded matrix (older releases keep a small fallback table, more on that below).

Then I used it every day on real client work, which turned out to be the best possible test suite. What happens when a tool you’re proud of meets real life? It broke in ways I didn’t anticipate, I rebuilt parts I thought were already solid, and it picked up a handful of features I only discovered I needed once I was living in it.

I’m excited to announce I’ll be speaking at The North American Collaboration Summit (NACS) 2026! This is one of the largest Microsoft 365 and collaboration community conferences in North America, and I’d love to see you there.

What a week! I had the pleasure of speaking at TechCon 365 Seattle, which ran August 24–28, 2026, and it lived up to its reputation as one of the best gatherings in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. The developer track was stacked with sharp speakers sharing real-world, tested content, and the energy in the hallway conversations was just as valuable as the sessions themselves. Great turnout, great questions, and a lot of new connections with folks building for SharePoint, Teams, Viva, and Power Platform.

I’m excited to announce I’ll be speaking at M365 Twin Cities! This free community conference brings together a full day of Microsoft 365 and Power Platform content, and I’d love to see you there.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be speaking at TechCon 365 Seattle, running August 24–28, 2026. This is one of the best gatherings in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, and this year’s developer track is stacked with some of the sharpest dev speakers in the community who will be sharing real-world, tested content. If you write code for SharePoint, Teams, Viva, or Power Platform, this is where you’ll want to be.

I’m thrilled to announce that on January 5, 2026, I joined Solution Foundry as a Senior Technology Advisor. While I’m publishing this a bit later than planned, I wanted to share this expanded role that represents an exciting opportunity to combine strategic planning, hands-on development, and team training in ways that build on my nearly two decades of SharePoint and Microsoft 365 experience.
