Nico De Cleyre
Developer. Microsoft 365 Architect. Microsoft MVP

About Me
I’m a Microsoft enthusiast with a passion for pushing the boundaries of M365, both as a developer and an architect. When I’m not knee-deep in code or crafting solutions in SharePoint (yes, with a capital P — don’t even think about lowercase), I’m blogging about the latest tech trends or challenges I faced, speaking at events, and contributing to open-source projects.
With years of experience, I’ve evolved from a developer into an architect, guiding companies through the labyrinth of M365 governance, compliancy, and security. Whether it’s implementing custom solutions in SharePoint, Teams, or Azure, or steering organizations on their Copilot for M365 journey, I’m all in.
Independent by choice and driven by a love for all M365 things, I’m here to turn tech challenges into success stories.
