I'm Ynias Bensch, a Power Platform consultant at Cegeka. Born in '95, raised in Tessenderlo, studied IT at Thomas More, and landed on the Power Platform in 2021. I never really left.

Since then I've helped organizations swap manual processes and spreadsheets for business apps, automations and, lately, AI agents. The work runs from solution assessments and architecture through building and governance to coaching teams, including our Agent in a Day workshops. The part I enjoy most sits in the middle: understanding what a business actually needs and turning it into something people like using.

Most articles here start as a problem on a real project: an error nobody documented, a flow that needed a pattern, an ALM setup that took three tries. Once it works, I write it down so the next person gets it in one. Some posts are technical deep dives, some are architecture or governance decisions, and some are just the mistake I'd rather you skip.

I write mostly for future me. If it saves you an afternoon too, even better.
