• Use Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, programming languages, and APIs to build reports and dashboards, automate workflows, and connect systems.
• Help Street Department staff troubleshoot hardware and software, deploy and maintain computers and mobile devices, and manage Microsoft 365 resources, including SharePoint and Teams.
