Cross-Cloud Architecture: GCC and Commercial Azure: + Design, document, and harden the boundary between the GCC Dynamics/Power Platform tenant and Azure commercial-cloud services. + Define what data may traverse that boundary, in what form (de-identified, tokenized, aggregated, or full record), under what authorization, and with what logging - including explicit architectural boundaries for protected data categories such as Medicaid Enrollment. + Implement cross-tenant identity, managed identities, service principals, Key Vault secret lifecycle, private networking, and API gateway patterns. + Maintain a defensible position on data residency and FedRAMP authorization boundaries for every commercial-cloud service in use, and present that position to auditors and federal reviewers. 3. AI and Agentic Development: + Serve as hands-on technical lead for CFSA's AI capability, including CORA and its expansion into agentic workflows. + Design, build, evaluate, and productionize agents in Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio: tool and function calling, orchestration and multi-agent patterns, grounding and retrieval over Dataverse and document stores, prompt and context engineering, structured output, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. + Own AI evaluation discipline: golden datasets, automated evals, groundedness and hallucination measurement, regression testing on model or prompt changes, latency and cost benchmarking, controlled rollout. + Manage the AI model lifecycle - track model releases and deprecations, run comparative evaluation before adopting a new model, execute migrations without regression to worker-facing quality. + Implement responsible AI controls appropriate to a child welfare setting: content safety, PII/PHI handling, bias and fairness testing, explainability, audit logging of AI-influenced actions, and clear framing of AI output as decision support rather than decision making. + Support predictive and analytic capability aligned to agency mission priorities, ensuring models are validated, monitored for drift, and governed. + Build reusable AI platform assets - prompt libraries, agent templates, evaluation harnesses, observability dashboards. 4. Application and Platform Security: + Own the security architecture of STAAND end to end; serve as technical counterpart to the agency ISSO, OCTO security, and District privacy officials. + Apply and evidence compliance with OCTO IT policies (octo.dc.gov/page/it-policies), NIST SP 800-53, FISMA, FedRAMP, HIPAA, 45 CFR 1355 (CCWIS), Title IV-E confidentiality, and District data protection law including DC Code 28-3851 et seq. breach notification obligations. + Design and enforce least privilege: Dataverse business unit and role architecture, row/column-level security, portal web roles and table permissions, privileged access management, separation of duties for finance and eligibility functions. + Lead secure SDLC: threat modeling, secure code review, static and dynamic analysis, dependency and supply-chain scanning, secrets management, remediation tracking with severity-based SLAs. + Support penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and audit response; own STAAND-assigned POA&M items. + Define AI-specific security requirements: prompt injection defenses, tool-permission scoping, data exfiltration prevention, agent action auditing. + Contribute to incident response, continuity, and disaster recovery planning; validate RTO/RPO through periodic exercises. 5. Continuous Improvement and Release Management: + Own the STAAND change pipeline from enhancement request through design, build, test, release, and post-release verification, including published release notes and coordination with the CISA training organization. + Plan and execute against Microsoft's Dynamics 365 biannual release waves and Power Platform service updates: early-access testing in a dedicated environment, deprecation and breaking-change assessment, and a documented impact and remediation plan per wave. + Evaluate new platform, Azure, and AI capabilities against the STAAND roadmap; run structured proofs of concept and make evidence-based adopt / trial / hold / retire recommendations. + Maintain a rolling multi-year technical roadmap balancing stabilization, platform health, security, federal compliance, and innovation. + Drive performance, reliability, and cost optimization - capacity and license consumption, Azure spend, storage tiering, API efficiency. + Advance DevOps maturity: source-controlled solutions, automated build and deploy pipelines, environment refresh, automated regression testing, release quality metrics. + Maintain and report the technical issues and risk register with mitigation owners and timelines. 6. Data, Interoperability, and Federal Reporting: + Own the data architecture supporting AFCARS, NCANDS, NYTD, CFSR, and Title IV-E reporting, including lineage, quality rules, exception handling, and submission validation. + Design and maintain bi-directional exchanges with District and external partners consistent with CCWIS interoperability requirements. + Establish automated data quality controls, duplicate person detection and merge integrity, and reconciliation with legacy records. 7. Stakeholder and Senior Leadership Engagement: + Translate between social work practice and technical architecture; observe real workflow with intake workers, investigators, case managers, placement staff, and fiscal teams before designing for it. + Brief the CFSA IT Steering Committee Members, CIO, STAAND Product Leadership, OCTO leadership, Council oversight staff, court monitors, and ACF/Children's Bureau reviewers, calibrating to each audience. + Serve as principal technical liaison to Microsoft (Industry Solutions Delivery, Customer Success, product groups) and to implementation and support vendors; hold them to architectural and quality standards. + Author decision memos, architecture decision records, briefing decks, and federal reporting content requiring minimal editing. + Mentor CFSA staff and other contract resources; build internal capability and reduce single-point-of-failure dependency. ## Related Videos - [Building Sovereign AI: Lessons from Deploying Secure RAG Systems using Confidential Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100108-building-sovereign-ai-lessons-from-deploying-secure-rag-systems-using-confidential-computing) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and more: A comparison of modern API styles](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100247-rest-graphql-grpc-and-more-a-comparison-of-modern-api-styles) - [Best Practices for Using GitHub Secrets](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1214-best-practices-for-using-github-secrets) - [Develop enterprise-ready applications for Microsoft Teams with Azure resources on modern web technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/187-develop-enterprise-ready-applications-for-microsoft-teams-with-azure-resources-on-modern-web-technologies) - [Data Analytics with Microsoft Fabric: End-to-End Use Case with Data Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1547-data-analytics-with-microsoft-fabric-end-to-end-use-case-with-data-agents) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Top Must-Visit Developer Conferences in the US in 2026](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/679-top-must-visit-developer-conferences-in-the-us-in-2026) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
