Salesforce architecture and solution design.
Fourteen years on the platform.

Steady the platform. Then build.
Fourteen years on Salesforce. I ask why before I change anything.
Architecture and solution design, hands-on.
Most of the hats.
I started as an intern, created that organization’s first Salesforce position, and earned my first certification there. Consulting took me across financial services, insurance, and retail. Then I moved in-house. Each role showed me a different side of the platform.
- Admin
- how people actually use the org
- Developer
- how the platform works, and the tools and automation people rely on
- Consultant
- how projects get scoped, sold, and handed off
- Engineer
- owning the org after launch, and improving it
- Architect
- what not to build, and the standards that keep an org healthy

Not afraid of history.
Every org that’s been live a few years has history: layered automation, forgotten workarounds, the big implementation nobody wants to touch. I take the time to understand it. I don’t route around it.
I’ve been the consultant who hands off an org and the engineer who inherits one. Most of my work now happens after go-live. I trace what the org actually does and steady it. I push for good practice and help the team adopt it. I weigh what’s new against what already works. Then I fix forward.

Tools change. I learn what the work needs, keep what earns its place, and drop the rest. Right now that includes agents.
On Terra, my Linux machine, I run Omarchy, DHH’s agentic OS. A small team of agents works there. They share context, stay within set boundaries, and hand work to one another. The terminal look of this site comes from there.
At work, I run Echoes: a weekly session where I share what I’m learning with colleagues. Every episode is named for a Pink Floyd album.

Plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No frameworks, no templates, no build step. The traffic behind the window runs live. Most of the themes come from records I love.
