• Lead platform upgrades, integrations, and migrations — including MDM consolidations or transitions — with a focus on business continuity and minimal operational disruption.

• Maintain architectural documentation, system configurations, device management policies, and change procedures to support knowledge transfer and audit readiness.

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team capability through training, process improvement, and best practices adoption.
