Technical Documentation: Create and maintain audit-ready documentation, including flow diagrams, change logs, deployment notes, and configuration records. Agile Collaboration: Participate in sprint planning, reviews, and other team ceremonies, provide realistic delivery estimates, and recommend practical solutions aligned with platform capabilities. Platform Evolution: Stay informed about Salesforce seasonal releases and new features to identify opportunities for secure, efficient, and maintainable improvements.
