Available for Q2/Q3 2026

The trainer behind 10,000+ Microsoft certifications across Fortune 500 and NATO.

20 years. Two kinds of rooms - boardrooms at Unilever, HP and General Motors, and classified briefings for NATO, the US Navy and the Marines. If your team is deploying Fabric or Copilot in 2026, I'll make sure they ship production, not just pass a cert.

// the problem

Most Microsoft training is forgotten by Monday.

You're not buying slides. You're buying a team that can actually run the thing you just bought. Here's where it usually goes wrong:

Your team passes the exam - then can't apply any of it in production.

The "trainer" reads the official slides aloud. Your team could've done that alone.

Six months later the new tool is shelfware, and the training budget is gone.

Generic courseware ignores your actual stack, your actual rollout, your actual deadline.

I've spent 20 years building the opposite of that.

// what your team gets

Three stacks. One outcome: your team ships.

Pick the track your rollout needs - or combine them. Every engagement is built around your tools and your timeline.

AI & Microsoft Copilot

Leadership stops guessing about AI - and your team ships Copilot people actually use.

Strategic AI transformation that drives ROI, not slide decks. Prompt-engineering governance. Custom Copilot plugin & connector development. Executive workshops without the hype.

Copilot StudioPluginsConnectorsGovernancePrompt EngineeringROI Strategy

Data & Analytics

Your data team ships lakehouses and reports that change decisions - not dashboards nobody opens.

Lakehouse and warehouse architecture in Microsoft Fabric. End-to-end pipelines with Azure Synapse and Real-Time Intelligence. Predictive modeling. Power BI that actually moves the org.

Modern Work & M365

Your org adopts M365 at scale and reclaims hundreds of hours a quarter in automation.

Microsoft 365 adoption across the org. System-based productivity frameworks. Workflow automation that gives time back. I don't teach features - I teach systems that make teams faster.

// why me

Most trainers read the courseware. I wrote it for NATO.

Ludwik C. Siadlak — Microsoft Certified Trainer

20+ years in tech

Floor-to-ceiling expertise.

Two Decades of Full-Stack Context

2004 → 2025

SQL Server 2000 → Azure SQL → Fabric. I didn't read about the evolution of the Microsoft data stack - I trained engineers through every generation of it. Oxford-trained at 21 in computing and psychology, so I teach the systems and the people using them.

The Rooms I've Trained

Unilever, HP, General Motors, GE, Volkswagen, Volvo. Classified sessions for NATO, US Army Europe, the US Navy and the Marines. The Norwegian Police, the Polish Department of Defense, government ministries. 8+ countries, two languages. The rooms I've been in are my resume.

Engineer ↔ Executive in the Same Day

Debug T-SQL at 10am. Present an AI transformation roadmap to the board at 2pm. Your team gets the depth. Leadership gets the clarity. Same week, zero context lost.

Battle-Tested, Not Lab-Tested

I'm a founder and consultant, not a professional slide-reader. Every session draws from production experience. Your team learns systems that survive Monday morning - not just certification day.

"He is the absolute best instructor I have ever had!!"

I am impressed by all the clear examples he made during the course! He made very useful drawings on the whiteboard. By switching between presentation slides, SQL code examples and the whiteboard, it was easy to maintain full concentration throughout the whole course!
