Getting Started

Not sure where to begin? This section walks you through how to connect, what to expect, and how to tailor collaboration to your communication style.

  • You can reach out directly through my contact page or email me directly at dcamacho@outlook.com to start a conversation. I typically offer short, focused discovery sessions to help align needs and scope before diving in.

    you can also call 763.352.0701 for more immediate answers or start a conversation but due to my schedule this may not be the best route.

  • A quick overview of your challenge, goals, and current tools is plenty to start. I’m good at translating loose ideas into clear plans, so don’t worry if it’s not fully mapped out yet.

  • Yes — I offer brief consultation chats to explore how we might work together. I can also walk you through examples of past work and how they relate to your needs. However, keep in mind I may not actual visuals or examples as I have worked on many type projects over my 25 years. However, I can provide you explanations of work examples that may fit your particular issue or what you may be seeking.

  • Absolutely. Whether it’s adjusting the format, pace, or tools we use, I welcome and support individualized approaches. Clear, inclusive communication is baked into how I operate.

General (About Me & My Approach)

Curious about how I work? Get a snapshot of my solo practice, values, and what kinds of projects and roles I thrive in.

  • I focus on building practical, reliable solutions across ERP systems, custom web apps, UX/UI design, and automation. Over the past several years I see a trend of the low code type solutions such as the Microsoft ECO system (Power Platform, Business Central, Office 365) However, with that said I am well versed in creating custom apps and websites from the ground up, reverse engineering apps, and rebuilds.

  • I prefer being part of your team and part of your culture either in a part-time, full-time, or temporary employment capacity. I see great value in the ease of access to others, participating in collaboration and other team dynamics.

    I do have the ability to Work solo as I spent about 50% of my career doing so, but as I stated I prefer collaboration passing and sharing ideas as it provides perspectives, approaches, and strategies that I may not come up with on my own. So, in a way working solo limits me to some degree!

  • Yes — I’m actively open to remote or local roles that involve meaningful work in development, design, or systems strategy.

    However, I mentioned in “Do you Work Solo, Or Collaborate with Teams?” that I prefer Part-time, Full-time, or Temporary Employment capacity.

  • I prioritize listening, then designing. I learn how each client works, then shape tools and workflows to match — never forcing off-the-shelf tech where it doesn’t fit.

  • I’ve developed solutions for manufacturing, regulated industries, research organizations, and creative agencies — each with its own set of workflows and compliance needs.

Process & Engagement

Wondering what working together looks like? Learn how I approach timelines, iteration, client feedback, and what I deliver beyond the build.

  • It starts with discovery, then I move into scoped planning, prototyping, and iterative development. I keep feedback loops short and clear, ensuring what we build stays aligned with goals.

    I leverage Agile Scrum methodologies and have worked with the methods over the past ten years.

  • I provide estimates based on initial scope, with built-in flexibility. If priorities shift or complexity grows, I communicate clearly and adjust with transparency.

  • Feedback is welcome and expected. I design workflows that include review points, and I adapt quickly to revisions or new insights along the way.

  • Yes — I can create guides, walkthroughs, or live demos to support adoption and handoff. I tailor documentation to your audience (technical, operational, or public-facing).

  • Absolutely. I’ve worked with legacy systems, brand guidelines, and hybrid environments. I find ways to make new work fit with what’s already functioning.

Technical Deep Dives

Into the nitty-gritty? This section answers deeper questions about platforms, system integrations, accessibility, and custom development.

  • Model-Driven Apps are great for internal data workflows; Power Automate handles logic and tasks; Power BI visualizes metrics; Power Pages builds secure, connected portals. I help clients choose and combine the right mix.

  • Yes — with custom extensions, fields, and role centers, Business Central can match your exact operational needs. I also ensure upgrade-safe development to support long-term stability.

  • Always. I build with responsive layouts, ARIA practices, alt text strategies, and flexible UI to support users of all abilities across devices.

  • I specialize in connecting data and platforms — whether that’s syncing Business Central with Power Platform or integrating web apps with Stripe, CRMs, or internal databases.

  • Yes — I’ve migrated systems from NAV, spreadsheets, and other legacy platforms into modern solutions with cleaner data flow and usable interfaces.

Design & Creative

Need design with depth? Explore how I bring visual clarity and creative assets to digital projects — and how design supports usability and branding.

  • Design should make things clearer, not just prettier. I focus on accessibility, consistency, and tone — shaping visuals that align with content and audience intent.

  • Yes — I can match existing branding or expand it. I create assets that feel cohesive and authentic, whether I’m following a guide or helping define one.

  • Absolutely. I’ve designed for digital platforms, social media, signage, onboarding docs, and more — always ensuring file types and specs are ready for deployment.

  • I design both. My UI work includes wireframes, responsive layouts, and visual components that bridge form and function across websites, apps, and portals.

  • I use the full Adobe Creative Suite — including Photoshop, Illustrator, XD, Animate, InDesign, After Effects, and Premiere, and Audition — along with collaborative tools like Figma and Canva when needed.
