Experienced Salesforce Technical Architect with over a decade of expertise designing and delivering enterprise Salesforce solutions, certified across multiple Salesforce clouds.

Today I work where AI, data and CRM meet, helping clients turn their technology investments into real business value.

I write about how AI is reshaping the Salesforce ecosystem, from Agentforce and Data 360 to building Salesforce agents with Claude Code, on my [blog](/blog).
