Hugo Herrera
Independent architect and Packt author, specialising in Microsoft AI and Dynamics 365.
I create the design blueprints and help deliver them, together with your team.
I help you find where AI agents add real value, then design and deliver them into production: agents that serve your customers, support your staff and take on routine work, governed and secure from day one.
I design and deliver contact centres that work with the telephony and systems you already have, meet each region’s rules, and bring AI agents and people together on every channel.
I design and deliver Dynamics 365 Customer Service and Sales as one clear system, connected to the rest of your business and moved safely from whatever you run today.
I join your team and map what has really been built and what is still open. Then I agree a clear blueprint with your sponsors and business owners, and lead the team through to go-live, with AI agents helping them move faster.
Hands-on courses for consultants, developers and architects, online or on-site: AB-100 with real expertise, a one-day workshop building agents in Copilot Studio, Foundry and Agent Framework, and AI-assisted delivery, so one trained expert can do the work of a team.

Agreed with stakeholders and business owners, with every trade-off and its cost on the page.
Processes sketched on the whiteboard with the people who run them, so the team owns the reasoning before anything is built.
Every release through the same gates, from development to production: Solution Checker, security scans and stage approvals.
I lead the architecture and delivery inside your team, through go-live and hypercare. On contract.
