Across boardrooms, back offices, and government halls in Africa and the UK, one name continues to redefine how enterprises embrace digital change: Olorunleke Olorunshola.
As a certified Power Platform developer and enterprise solution architect, his work is a blueprint for how low-code innovation can power real progress across sectors.
Olorunshola is leading a wave of transformation that blends cutting-edge technology with practical, everyday usability. His approach? Build secure, scalable, and user-friendly systems that empower non-technical teams just as much as tech departments. And the results are speaking for themselves.
“I’ve always believed that great solutions should feel intuitive,” he said. “The goal is not to impress users with complexity, but to give them tools they can pick up, use, and trust from day one.”
This mindset has shaped his current initiatives, including the rollout of a Health and Environment Impact Assessment system for a government agency, built entirely on Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse. The system replaces manual approvals with automated workflows, integrates directly with Microsoft Teams and Outlook, and enables better cross-department collaboration. It’s one of several digital transformation projects he’s delivering in 2025.
Alongside development, Olorunshola is also steering a migration program that’s moving legacy SharePoint and Excel tools into the Microsoft Dataverse, a shift that improves data integrity, boosts governance, and aligns with enterprise-scale low-code strategies. As part of this effort, he is implementing a Power Platform Center of Excellence to manage environments, DLP policies, and lifecycle best practices.
“The technology is evolving fast, but adoption is still the real challenge,” he noted. “That’s why I focus not just on architecture, but on enablement. If users don’t feel confident, the system fails no matter how well it’s built.”
That commitment to enablement has seen Olorunshola lead internal workshops, coach junior developers, and mentor new talent entering the low-code space. His training programs have significantly increased adoption rates within the organizations he serves, creating ripple effects that outlast any one project.
His approach to problem-solving is deeply collaborative. From reducing onboarding times for HR teams to integrating Power BI dashboards for health and safety reporting, every solution is designed with performance, clarity, and long-term sustainability in mind.
“What I find most rewarding isn’t the launch day. It’s when users message me weeks later and say, ‘This just saved me three hours’ or ‘Now I can track everything in one place,’” he said. “That’s the real win.”
As enterprises continue seeking agile, cost-effective ways to modernize operations, professionals like Olorunshola are showing that low-code isn’t just a tool. It’s a strategy. And with each project, each workshop, and each new idea, he’s shaping a smarter, more efficient future for work in Africa and beyond.
