Salesforce Architect · AI-native delivery
Fifteen years on the Salesforce platform across enterprise, government, financial services, and ISV. I build with AI-native tooling — Claude Code, Cursor, and local models — because it lets a senior architect ship in days what the old delivery model still quotes in weeks. Below: the field notes on how, the proof, and what I'm building now.
Now
Building an AppExchange e-signature app and a SaaS side project, and taking on a small number of senior Salesforce architecture engagements.

The AI-native delivery model
Most Salesforce consulting still bills by the hour for work AI now does in minutes. I run a different model — AI as a production engine, me as the architect who reviews, edits, and ships.
The result: a build a traditional consultancy quotes at two weeks ships from me in three to seven days, at the same quality. One senior engineer, no juniors learning on your org.
Apex generation that passes review
AI writes the boilerplate — bulkified handlers, CRUD/FLS-safe queries, test data factories. I review, refactor, and ship. The output passes security scanner with the same patterns I'd write manually.
Tests that catch real bugs
AI generates the obvious test cases at speed; I add the edge cases that come from 15 years of seeing what actually breaks in production.
Documentation that stays current
Markdown docs, walkthrough scripts, security questionnaire drafts — generated alongside the code, regenerated when the code changes. Documentation that's actually maintained.
Security review prep at half the time
AI scans for CRUD/FLS gaps, SOQL injection, sharing violations before the official scanner runs. Faster remediation cycles, fewer surprises in submission.
