What I'm looking for

I seek senior Salesforce architecture roles where I can lead multi-cloud transformations, drive integration/CI-CD excellence, mentor teams, and deliver secure, scalable CRM platforms aligned to business outcomes.

I am a Salesforce Architect with over 12 years' experience designing and delivering enterprise-scale CRM solutions that balance technical excellence with business impact. I specialize in multi-cloud architectures, API-led integrations with MuleSoft and Kafka, data modeling, Apex, Lightning Web Components, and security/governance frameworks that drive adoption and measurable results.

I have led org consolidations, metadata-driven partitioning, CI/CD automation, and Center of Excellence initiatives while mentoring distributed teams and aligning stakeholders to business outcomes. My work includes Commerce, Revenue/CPQ, Marketing Cloud Personalization, large-data optimization, and cloud data platform integrations to deliver secure, high-availability enterprise solutions.
