- Challenge standard capabilities, extensions, data models, security roles, integration constraints and licensing assumptions.
- Identify when dedicated functional expertise is required for a specific Dynamics module. 

3) Power Platform engineering excellence 
- Define and enforce engineering standards for Dataverse, canvas and model-driven apps, cloud flows, custom connectors, Power Pages, PCF components, JavaScript and C# plugins.
- Conduct architecture and code reviews, detect technical debt early and ensure remediation is planned before it becomes a delivery or support risk. 

4) Azure architecture and integration 
- Design and review integrations using Azure Functions, Logic Apps, API Management, Key Vault, service identities and REST APIs.
- Contribute to secure integration patterns, API-led architectures, encryption approaches and the separation of responsibilities between Azure and Power Platform administrators. 

5) Development team leadership 
- Lead developers and technical contributors across distributed teams.
- Translate architecture into actionable technical work, allocate or recommend assignments according to skills and priorities, unblock delivery, mentor team members and ensure consistent application of standards. Remain able to contribute directly to prototypes, complex development and troubleshooting. 

6) ALM, DevOps and environment strategy
