• Governance & Security — Help establish guardrails, intake processes, and standards for Copilot and Power Platform solutions.
• Microsoft 365 Ecosystem — Deploy solutions leveraging Entra ID, Teams, Microsoft Graph, and the broader M365 stack.
• First Escalation Support — Serve as the first point of troubleshooting for agents and automations you build.
