I bridge the gap between executive strategy and enforceable technical architecture, specializing in architecture-first delivery, DevOps maturity, and resilience engineering for governed, multi-cloud systems (Salesforce + AWS).

A high-level view of the multi-cloud pattern used in my reference implementation.

An Open Source (Apache 2.0) Standard for Salesforce DevOps that separates policy enforcement from execution.

• Governance Control Plane: Designed a system intended to enforce deployment outcomes independently of tooling.
• Policy & Contract Model: Defined a model that normalizes results across execution engines such as native sf CLI and sfdx-hardis.
• Pluggable Adapter Pattern: Architected a pattern allowing teams to swap execution engines without breaking compliance guarantees.
• Deployment Governance: Formalized concepts including policy resolution, validation gates, and pass or fail arbitration.
• Tooling Strategy: Positioned mature tools like sfdx-hardis as first-class execution adapters, not competitors.
• System Documentation: Authored protocol-level architecture documentation treating governance as a system concern rather than a pipeline feature.

Production-grade execution infrastructure designed to provide the foundational layer for GlassOps governance.

• Verified Primitives: Engineered comprehensive test coverage ensuring consistent behavior across execution contexts.
• Governed Authentication: Implemented authentication contracts supporting JWT, OAuth, and SFDX Auth URL patterns.
• Plugin Security: Designed whitelist enforcement preventing unauthorized Salesforce CLI extensions.
• Governed Execution: Enforces strict timeouts, validates inputs, and provides structured error handling with clear failure modes.
• Infrastructure Guarantees: Established the foundational layer ensuring deployment outcomes are reproducible and auditable.

An open-source reference implementation for enterprise delivery patterns.

• The Architecture: Designed a multi-cloud system using Salesforce LWR, GraphQL, Apex, and AWS Lambda.
• The Governance: Architected contract-first APIs (OpenAPI 3.0) and "Chaos Engineering" patterns to validate resilience against third-party failures.
• The Ops: Zero-touch CI/CD with automated quality gates.
• Documentation: Read my Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) to see how I handle security, FinOps, and resilience trade-offs.

A production-ready GitHub Action for Salesforce CI/CD pipelines.

• Self-Healing Architecture: Engineered exponential backoff logic for high availability and fault tolerance.
• Strict-Mode Governance: Implemented automated quality gates to enforce enterprise coding standards.
• Cross-Platform Design: Built the foundation for modular reusable workflows supporting Linux and Windows.
• Performance: Intelligent caching strategy reducing setup time by 80% (20s vs 2m).

Treating professional career documentation as a software product.

• Infrastructure as Code: Architected an event-driven pipeline that transforms Markdown source into immutable PDF artifacts.
• Security Architecture: Decoupled PII (Phone/Email) using GitHub Secrets to enable safe public repository visibility.
• Automated Governance: Engineered custom scripts to enforce formatting standards and validate hyperlinks before compilation.
