• Provide targeted advisory and support for AI-adjacent Power Platform and Azure integration workflows, including Power Automate cloud/desktop flows, Dataverse, Power Apps, Azure Logic Apps, app registrations, Key Vault, Application Insights, and related services where they connect to the AI program or address critical issues in business automation needs.
• Maintain clear user documentation, solution diagrams, architecture artifacts, environment notes, runbooks, support paths, and design-decision records. Complete a structured knowledge transfer and handoff to designated internal owners before contract completion.
