• Development Skills: Skilled in C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, T-SQL/FetchXML, Git, and Power Fx. Familiarity with Power Platform CLI is a plus.
• Leadership: Experience guiding teams, mentoring, and ensuring quality in Agile/Scrum environments.
• ALM & DevOps: Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, environment management, and release processes.
