WHO AM I

My name is Rik de Koning and I work as a Power Platform Consultant for Rapid Circle, which is one of the larger Microsoft partners in The Netherlands, but also has offices in India and Australia.

I started my career in 2011 as a SharePoint support engineer and in 2013, I went to become a SharePoint consultant where I did various projects on SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Server 2013. In the last couple of years I started focusing more and more on Office 365, especially on SharePoint Online, Power Apps and Power Automate (formerly known as Microsoft Flow).

Since I always had a strong focus on automating business processes and configuring forms (using various tools, such as SharePoint Designer, InfoPath, Nintex, K2, etc.), it was only logical for me to put my main focus on the Power Platform, next to Microsoft 365 and Azure (Logic Apps).

I like being challenged and there are always some challenges when implementing the services Microsoft provides us with.

When I’m not working, I like to spend some time with my family (girlfriend and son), hang out with friends, do some sports (like snowboarding, hiking and running) playing videogames and just relax a little.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
