Build solutions using Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Services, Azure Machine Learning, and related Microsoft technologies.
Support machine learning model development, training, evaluation, and deployment.
Integrate AI models into applications, APIs, and business workflows.
Develop generative AI capabilities, including prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI agents.
Create and maintain Python applications, scripts, APIs, and data processing pipelines.
Support solutions using Copilot Studio, Power Automate, and other Power Platform tools.
Partner with business stakeholders to define use cases, clarify requirements, and test solutions.
Evaluate solution performance, troubleshoot issues, and support reliable production operation.
Maintain documentation covering code, experiments, technical decisions, deployment, and support requirements.
