  • Conduct security reviews, design least-privileged access solutions, troubleshoot access issues, and support audit and compliance requirements.
  • Build CI/CD pipelines from scratch for Power Platform deployments, optimise existing pipelines, troubleshoot deployment failures, and standardise deployment frameworks.
  • Integrate deployments with Application Insights, Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Power Platform Admin Centre monitoring.
  • Implement alerting mechanisms, deployment health monitoring, production diagnostics, audit reporting, and disaster recovery and environment restore management.
  • Actively participate in SAFe Agile ceremonies, supporting backlog refinement, planning, and reviews.
  • Work with cross-functional teams including developers, analysts, and product owners to deliver governed, automated, and auditable Power Platform solutions.
