Hi — I'm Syed Bilal, a Power Platform developer focused on the PowerApps
Component Framework (PCF). I build custom controls for model-driven and
Dataverse apps and ship them as open source on GitHub
(github.com/syedbilal1997).
This blog is where I write down the things I wish someone had written down
for me: how to build specific PCF controls, the Dataverse gotchas that cost
me hours, and practical Power Apps patterns I use on real projects.
Everything here comes from work I'm actually doing — no theory for theory's
sake. If a post saves you an afternoon, it did its job.
What you'll find here:
- PCF control build-alongs (with code + GitHub repos)
- Dataverse & model-driven app tips
- Power Apps patterns from real-world projects
