Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Callaghan is a solutions architect and maker with two decades of IT experience, currently accelerating AI solutions within Microsoft's Global Engineering & Architecture team. He blends deep Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Power Platform expertise with full-stack development in React, Node.js and Python, plus Azure-native tooling, Infrastructure-as-Code and DevOps to rapidly prototype production-ready AI, IoT and smart-place solutions. A design-first storyteller who uses Figma and prototyping to shape compelling user experiences, he pairs UX discipline with hands-on use of OpenAI, Copilot and LLM tooling to drive business impact.
