Exposure to AI‑assisted development, Copilot tooling, or OpenAI SDKs
Client‑facing or consulting experience
Strong documentation and diagramming skills (e.g., architecture decision records, system diagrams)
What Success Looks Like:
Secure, reliable, and scalable Azure platforms with measurable improvements in performance and cost efficiency
Reusable IaC modules and CI/CD templates adopted consistently across teams
Clear architectural guidance and modernization roadmaps that reduce risk and accelerate delivery
Elevated engineering practices through mentorship and cross‑team collaboration
