* Design and implement a future-ready solution using Microsoft Power Platform and other centrally approved technologies.
* Lead the redevelopment, delivering secure, scalable, and sustainable web tools.

* Oversee integration with core data services and central platforms.
* Provide regular updates to ITS leadership and key faculty stakeholders.

* Familiarity with Azure cloud services and cloud-first development strategies.
