I'm a web developer and solution architect with strong skills in development and integration architecture design within the Salesforce platform. I've successfully completed projects in various industries, including 4 full implementations of Sales and Service cloud.
My passion lies in solving business challenges through automation with intent of improving process efficiency and customer experience.
Professionally, I have earned 8 Salesforce certifications, over 100 badges on Trailhead and a bachelor of technology from the University of Johannesburg.
