• Model, query, and tune data in Azure SQL Database; manage objects, stored procedures, and performance.

• Implement storage strategies using Azure Blob Storage (lifecycle policies, tiers, access control).

• Integrate systems via REST/SOAP APIs (auth, throttling, retries, pagination, error handling).

• Automate document generation using python-docx (templates, styles, images, tables).

• Enforce security with Azure Key Vault, managed identities, RBAC, and secure configuration.

• Set up Application Insights for logs, metrics, alerts, and dashboards; support incident triage.

• Participate in code reviews, write unit/integration tests, and maintain high code quality.

• Use Azure DevOps (Repos, Pipelines, Boards) for CI/CD, work tracking, and release automation.

• Collaborate in Agile/Scrum cadence; provide estimates, documentation, and knowledge sharing.
