IT Solutions Architect | Automation & DevOps Engineer

Building Systems That Save Time and Cut Costs

I’m Chris Worth, an IT Solutions Architect with 20+ years of technical experience. I specialize in Power Platform architecture, Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, AI agent automation, and modernizing legacy workflows into secure, governed, scalable solutions. I’ve built systems that save hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by replacing aging platforms and eliminating vendor dependency across large organizations.

What I Do

I focus on practical automation and enterprise-scale architecture. My work spans Power Platform solution delivery, Azure DevOps pipeline design, cloud infrastructure with Terraform, and full-stack application development. Whether it’s a Canvas App serving thousands of users, a CI/CD pipeline with multi-environment gated approvals, or an AI agent that auto-generates technical documentation, I build things that work at scale and hold up over time.

What I’m Working On

Power Platform Architecture

Designing and delivering enterprise Power Platform solutions including Canvas Apps, Power Automate flows, and Dataverse environments. I work across the full application lifecycle — solution design, ALM tooling, environment governance, and deprecating legacy platforms like Nintex/InfoPath. I contribute to Power Platform governance standards and solution lifecycle practices at the organizational level.

Azure DevOps & CI/CD

Building and maintaining city-wide Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines with multi-environment gated approvals, YAML pipelines, and branching governance. My pipelines turn commits into reliable, auditable releases and dramatically reduce manual deployment overhead.

AI Agent Automation

Building an automated AI agent pipeline using Copilot Studio, Dataverse, and PowerShell that generates technical documentation for Power Platform solutions. AI agents analyze and document solution architecture, reducing manual overhead and enforcing consistency at scale.

Cloud Infrastructure & Full-Stack Development

Provisioning and managing Azure cloud infrastructure using Terraform as reproducible Infrastructure as Code. Supporting full-stack applications built with Svelte and PostgreSQL, handling everything from resource deployment to environment configuration. I also run a self-hosted Slackware Linux server with Docker container orchestration and a private media streaming platform.

Freelance & Consulting (Melange Data)

I founded Melange Data, a consultancy delivering rapid application development and cloud deployment for founders, startups, and nonprofits. I handle the full project lifecycle — from design to production — including domain setup, cloud hosting, CI/CD pipelines, and ongoing maintenance.

Enterprise Power Platform Solutions

I’ve delivered 50+ Power Platform solution packages — Canvas Apps, Power Automate flows, and Dataverse environments — serving thousands of users. This includes full platform migration initiatives that eliminated hundreds of thousands in annual licensing costs. Most of this work is proprietary, but the patterns show up in my blog posts.

Speaking

Speaker at the Austin Tech Conference 2026, presenting on using AI agents to automatically generate technical documentation for Power Platform solutions using Copilot Studio, Dataverse, and PowerShell.

Writing & Sharing

I write about what I’m building and learning. Topics include Power Platform patterns, DevOps automation, Linux workflows, and AI-assisted development. Less theory, more implementation details.
