• 5 plus years of pro-code D365 extensibility (C#/.NET plug-ins, custom APIs, PCF controls) and 4 plus years of hands-on Azure architecture (PaaS integration, data, identity)
• 2 plus years of production generative-AI / agentic development (Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, or Copilot Studio) including RAG/grounding, tool calling, orchestration, and AI evaluation
• 5 plus years of application security in a regulated environment (NIST 800‑53 or equivalent) and 2 plus years of government cloud delivery (GCC, GCC High, or Azure Government)
