• Define and implement Integration strategies, including data flow design, API patterns, and secure connectivity between systems.
• Architect solutions within Dynamics 365 (Customer Engagement & Finance/Operations) and ensure alignment with broader digital roadmaps.
• Build scalable frameworks using the Power Platform, including Power Apps (Canvas & Model-driven), Power Automate, Power BI, and Dataverse.
• Support Infrastructure-as-Code approaches using tooling such as ARM/Bicep, Terraform, or Azure DevOps pipelines.
• Contribute to requirements gathering, scoping, and estimation for new projects and change initiatives.
• Oversee technical designs through delivery, ensuring alignment with standards, governance, and non-functional expectations.
• Lead workshops with stakeholders to explain architectural choices and explore solution options.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of Microsoft cloud advancements and advise the business on opportunities and risks.

• Proficiency with technical documentation: solution designs, sequence diagrams, data models, and implementation guides.
• Familiar with C#, .NET, JavaScript, and standards for modern software engineering.
• Strong grounding in Agile delivery practices, DevOps pipelines, and CI/CD automation.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical detail to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Capable of balancing short-term delivery needs with long-term architectural vision.
