Damien Girard
Principal Software Engineer - AI ERP Platform and Server
With over a decade of experience shaping Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, I've worked on core platform components such as MCP, Copilot AI and Summarization, APIs/OData, AL Runtime, Analysis View, the record API, task scheduling, and page background task processing.
My passion is building a platform that delivers the smoothest and fastest ERP experience for partners and customers.
I'm always excited to discuss AI, MCP, performance, and future innovations that make Business Central even better.
