• Support platform administration activities, ensuring reliability, performance, security, and compliance across the Power Platform environment.
• Create and maintain standards, documentation, and development best practices to improve consistency and scalability across Power Platform solutions.
• Collaborate with enterprise application and IT teams to integrate Power Platform solutions with Azure services, Dynamics 365, and other internal systems.
• Leverage tools such as Azure DevOps to support source control, deployment pipelines, testing strategies, and solution management.
• Evaluate and implement opportunities to improve platform architecture, technical standards, and overall platform maturity.
• Support Power Platform initiatives related to business growth, including international expansion efforts and future Dynamics 365 implementations.
• Work independently to manage technical responsibilities while collaborating closely with business analysts and cross-functional teams.
• Serve as a subject matter expert for Power Platform development, administration, and governance, helping drive long-term platform strategy and adoption.
