💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up meeting with your two mentees to review progress on current app development. You'll then spend a few hours designing a new Canvas App for field data collection, followed by a session refining a Power Automate flow that triggers alerts for equipment maintenance. In the afternoon, you might review a colleague's Dataverse data model, provide feedback, and then work on deploying updates via Azure DevOps pipelines.
