• Proven success in leading Dynamics 365 implementations across multiple modules (ERP, CRM, HR).
• Expertise in Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure services and integration frameworks.
• Strong understanding of enterprise data architecture, security models and cloud‑native design.
• Proficiency in C#, .NET, JavaScript and Dynamics 365 SDK.

• Advanced proficiency in Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate).
• Familiarity with AI technologies such as AI Builder, D365 Copilot, Copilot Studio and machine‑learning integration.
• Exposure to legacy ERP migration and modernization strategies.
• Microsoft Certified: Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect (AB‑100) or similar.
