• Implement governance, security (including row‑level security), deployment, and lifecycle management practices aligned with enterprise and Fabric tenant standards.

• Communicate architecture decisions and trade‑offs clearly to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• Mentor and support Power BI developers and analysts through design guidance, reviews, and knowledge sharing.
