• Convert and migrate existing Nintex K2 low‑code workflow solutions into hybrid solutions (Web Application + Power Platform) with minimal disruption to business processes.
• Create and maintain documentation, technical designs, process flows, and user guides for all developed solutions.
• Mentor and guide junior developers, fostering technical excellence within the team.
