Professional Summary

Erick Simba is a senior IT and business systems consultant specializing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics NAV, with additional depth in Power BI, ERP infrastructure, and business systems integration. He works at the intersection of business process and technology — helping finance, operations, and IT teams implement, customize, and support ERP systems that hold up under real operating conditions.

His approach is practical rather than theoretical: understand how a business actually operates, then configure, build, or troubleshoot the systems that support it. He operates comfortably across the full ERP lifecycle — from requirements and configuration through data migration, integration, reporting, and post-go-live support — and is equally comfortable translating between business stakeholders and technical teams.
