•    Design resilient integrations using Power Platform, Azure services, APIs, and custom connectors.
•    Guide teams on low‑code and pro‑code extensibility, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards.
•    Act as a trusted advisor—leading solution workshops, contributing to delivery planning, and translating business needs into practical technical solutions.

Required 
•    5–7 years of experience designing and delivering enterprise solutions using Microsoft Power Platform and M365.
•    Proven expertise architecting end‑to‑end Copilot Studio solutions, including orchestration, integrations, environments, and ALM.
