Sandro Lanfranchi developed automation and policy management features for the FabienTschanz/Microsoft365DSC repository, focusing on Azure AD Group Eligibility, PIM group policies, and Power Apps environment provisioning. He engineered new Desired State Configuration (DSC) resources with full Get/Set/Test/Export support, streamlined policy state retrieval, and enhanced test reliability by refining unit and infrastructure tests. Using PowerShell and Microsoft Graph API, Sandro migrated eligibility management to Graph beta endpoints, improved resource governance, and reduced manual intervention in cloud environments. His work demonstrated depth in API integration, infrastructure as code, and test automation, resulting in more robust, maintainable, and scalable cloud management solutions.
