Salesforce Release Engineer at Absa Group, automating Copado deployments and strengthening Salesforce security.
What I'm looking for
At Absa Group, I coordinate Salesforce release processes and automate deployment workflows with Copado. I’ve built and optimized pipelines, configured quality gates, and supported data deployments across environments.
Also at Absa Group, I monitor Salesforce security across QA, UAT, and Production. I use AppOmni to assess configurations and investigate security findings, and work with CrowdStrike to monitor events and support incident response.
Earlier, as a Salesforce Software Engineer Graduate Trainee at AnalyticsHive, I supported Salesforce development using Apex, Visualforce, and Lightning components. I hold Salesforce and Copado certifications and am seeking to contribute my Salesforce development expertise to innovative projects.
