• Deliver integrations using REST/OData APIs, custom and HTTP connectors with Microsoft Entra ID authentication, and Azure services; extend with JavaScript and C# plugins where needed.
• Understand, maintain and evolve existing Gartner assets, and create reusable components and patterns across engagements.
• Lead the end-to-end delivery lifecycle in client engagements: planning, estimation, sprint delivery, testing/UAT, deployment, hypercare and handover.
• Guide, review and mentor Power Platform engineers; set design and development standards and conduct solution reviews.
• Manage scope, risks and dependencies; provide clear status updates to engagement leaders and client stakeholders.
• Administer and govern Power Platform via the Power Platform Admin Center: environment strategy, Managed Environments, DLP policies, security roles, capacity and licensing.
• Own ALM: managed/unmanaged solutions, connection references, environment variables and Power Platform Pipelines/Azure DevOps across DEV, QA and Production.
• Set up monitoring and adoption tracking using Copilot Studio analytics, Azure Application Insights, and Copilot Studio Kit; embed security and responsible AI practices.
