Summary

Around 14 years’ experience in the Salesforce space. Architect by title, programmer by heart. Loves the code aspect of salesforce, but always keen on solutions within the declarative and configuration side of the platform. Elegance and simplicity over everything.

Worked for different sides of the ecosystem; from consulting, end client, and even working with AppExchange app development partners.

Key strengths lie mostly around custom development within the platform. My north star has always been in delivering fit for purpose solutions that are scalable and sustainable in the long run. Designing solutions that are elegant and help customers leverage their investment to the Salesforce platform to the fullest.

Speaker - Dreamforce: Developing with the Lightning Design SystemIconOpenNewWindows
2016
Salesforce lightning
With deadlines looming, you must deliver a feature and are asking yourself if you should develop using Lightning Components or Visualforce. Lightning Components would mean embracing the future direction of the platform, but it is still a new technology. Visualforce is proven, but will likely need to be rebuilt when your org moves to the Lightning Experience UI. Enter Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS). Learn how to combine your Visualforce skills with the look and feel of Lightning Experience using SLDS. Re-skin your existing Visualforce to look like Lightning. Learn which situations perfectly fit a hybrid Visualforce/Lightning approach to get the most out of your Visualforce investment while still embracing Lightning.
