2. Build custom components and integrations for AEC software using the BHoM framework.
3. Collaborate with domain experts to translate engineering needs into maintainable code.
4. Follow established coding standards and architectural patterns.

CI/CD & Infrastructure Automation

1. Support the design and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines for build, test, and deployment using GitHub Actions.
2. Use Azure services to deploy applications and infrastructure.
3. Automate repetitive tasks to improve delivery speed and reliability.

Low-Code / No-Code Deployment

1. Assist in developing deployment workflows using Azure Logic Apps, Power Platform, and GitHub Actions.
