• Collaborate with enterprise security and cloud teams to enforce compliance, data protection, and least-privilege design within Azure AD and Dataverse.
• Guide developers in understanding internal Power Platform operations — including metadata-driven compilation, connector resolution, PowerFx expression evaluation, and runtime sandboxing within Azure Functions.
• Continuously evaluate and champion emerging technologies (AI tools, automation platforms, and low code/no code innovations) bringing recommendations on how new tools and drive business value.
