Why 3 products?
Most CRM migrations are slow, risky, and expensive because they're done manually. I'm building the missing automation infrastructure:
- Colvio (free, open-source) → Browser tool for daily D365 work. Proves technical capability, serves the community
- Dynovo (SF→D365) → Enterprise migration accelerator. 30+ extractors, reduces ~40% manual work, 30-min audit vs 2-week manual inventory
- Cerulio (D365→SF) → Enterprise migration accelerator. 58-element scan in ~10 min, reduces ~40% manual work, standalone audit mode (€990)
Symmetry by design: Both commercial products follow the same 4-phase architecture (Audit → Clean → Plan → Migrate) and deliver the same ~40% efficiency gain. Different migration directions, identical value proposition.
Together they demonstrate:
- Deep technical expertise in both platforms (not surface-level consulting)
- Ability to ship production-grade products (not just POCs or side projects)
- Understanding of real enterprise pain points (from 9 years hands-on migration experience)
CRM Architect with 9 years of experience specializing in:
- 🔄 Complex CRM Migrations: Salesforce ↔ Dynamics 365 at enterprise scale
- 🏗️ Solution Architecture: Multi-cloud Salesforce, D365 + Power Platform
- 💻 Hands-on Development: Apex, Lightning Web Components, React, Dataverse APIs
- 🎯 Technical Leadership: Coordinating integrators (Accenture, Capgemini) and vendors (Microsoft)
Recent Mission: Lead Architect for complete Salesforce → D365 migration at TotalEnergies (Sept 2024 - Jan 2026)
- Multi-org migration, millions of records with full historical preservation
- Data migration orchestration with Accenture integration team
- Coordination across architects, IT, business stakeholders, Microsoft vendor
- Zero downtime cutover, on-time delivery
This hands-on migration experience directly informed the design of Dynovo and Cerulio — every feature solves a real pain point I encountered.

Colvio is free and open-source because I believe in giving back to the community. Zero telemetry, no data collection, no external servers. If you're a D365 consultant, star it and share it.
Dynovo and Cerulio are commercial SaaS products, but they're built on the same principle: automate the boring stuff so humans can focus on the interesting problems.
Migrations shouldn't take 6-12 months when 40% of the work is mechanical. The industry needs better tools, not more manual labor.

Custom SQL→FetchXML Parser (Colvio)
Built a complete tokenizer + recursive descent parser to translate SQL queries to FetchXML. Handles JOINs, WHERE clauses, aggregations, subqueries. 400+ lines of parsing logic.
Virtual Scrolling at 60fps (Colvio)
Renders 10,000+ Dataverse records in browser using windowing technique with DOM recycling. Outperforms Dynamics UI by 3x.
Idempotent Upsert Engine (Dynovo, Cerulio)
Handles lookup resolution, retries, and partial failures during bulk data loading. Ensures migrations can be re-run safely.
Security Role Converter (Cerulio)
Maps D365 CRUDAA permissions (Create, Read, Update, Delete, Append, AppendTo) to Salesforce CRUDLS (Create, Read, Update, Delete, List, Search) + Profile + Permission Set architecture.
Business Process Flow → Lightning Flow (Cerulio)
Analyzes D365 BPF structure (stages, steps, conditions) and generates equivalent Salesforce Flow definition via Metadata API.
I've seen migrations fail because:
- Manual audits miss critical dependencies (costs 2+ months in rework)
- Schema mapping errors corrupt data (costs credibility + client trust)
- Security models are copy-pasted incorrectly (compliance risk)
- Document migration is treated as an afterthought (users lose files)
Dynovo and Cerulio exist because these problems are solvable with automation.
Consultants are expensive. They should design architectures and solve business problems, not spend weeks extracting metadata or mapping fields in Excel.
