 Are you interested in him? I'm never sure why folks worry about some light flirtation unless it makes them uncomfortable or they are interested in the person and trying to interpret behavior.
Maybe he has a tic?
Maybe he likes you?
Maybe he just likes to flirt?
I had a 92 yr old guy flirt with me on sunday.... I needed to get past him and reach something and I said "excuse me I just need to reach past you and I promise not to hit you" he said to me "you could sit on my lap instead"
now I found this adorable that a 92 year old guy (he told me his age) was that much fun... so maybe when he was 20 something he was a winker too!

I've known people in my professional life who would wink at coworker as a friendly gesture.

I wouldn't think anything of it. Not everyone sees a wink as flirty. My boyfriend's dad winks at everyone all the time, including me. It doesn't mean anything.

 Iprobably safe to assume he was EXTREEMLY nervous and had no idea what the heck he was doing other than acknowledging the meeting. He's probably curled up somewhere going,"Oh darn did I really just wink and run?"

 I think he is just being nice and a little cheeky.
