## Description

* Run architecture discovery, current-state assessments, data and analytics maturity assessments and technical roadmaps for enterprise clients
 * Make and document key platform decisions: Fabric vs. Databricks/Synapse/Snowflake, Lakehouse vs. Warehouse, storage modes, workspace and domain topology, data mesh vs. centralized models, capacity (F-SKU) sizing and licensing
 * Design end-to-end Microsoft Fabric solutions: OneLake, Lakehouse, Warehouse, Data Factory pipelines, Dataflows Gen2, Notebooks (PySpark/Spark SQL), Real-Time Intelligence (Eventstreams, Eventhouse/KQL) and Power BI + Power BI CoPilot
 * Design governance, security and operating frameworks: data governance with Microsoft Purview, sensitivity labels, RLS/OLS, identity and access models, tenant settings, a Center of Excellence (CoE), self-service BI guardrails and lifecycle management (ALM, Git integration, deployment pipelines, CI/CD)
 * Pick the right patterns for each customer, such as medallion architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold), data mesh or domain-based setups and hub-and-spoke workspaces
 * Write and maintain enterprise-grade solution documentation, including Solution Architecture Documents (HLD/LLD), Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), non-functional requirements, security and compliance concepts, data models and lineage, operating and support models and handover documentation
 * Plan and run migrations from older platforms (Azure Synapse, Azure Data Factory, SSIS/SSAS, on-premises SQL Server, Snowflake, Databricks, Power BI Premium P-SKUs, Tableau/Qlik, etc.) to Fabric
 * Plan Fabric capacity (F-SKUs) and look after cost, performance and monitoring (Capacity Metrics app)
 * Advise on AI-ready data platforms, including Copilot in Fabric and Power BI, Fabric data agents and integration with Azure AI services
 * Supervise delivery as design authority: set engineering standards, run design and code reviews, define quality gates, check that implementation follows the architecture and approve changes to it; turn project experience into reusable blueprints, reference architectures, documentation templates and accelerators for our Microsoft Data & Analytics practice
