Built for Enterprise Salesforce & Platform Teams

You don't need another contractor. You need a senior engineer who has shipped regulated Salesforce platforms — and the CI/CD and cloud tooling around them — and can take ownership from day one.

Release Engineering & CI/CD

I design and own end-to-end Salesforce CI/CD pipelines: GitHub Actions, SFDX, 1GP/2GP packaging, branching strategy, and non-bypassable quality gates. The kind of pipeline an audit can actually defend.

Regulated Environments

Banking-grade release governance. Segregation of duties, audit-ready logs, and security model design from clients in fintech (Ebury, 1,500-user org), Big-4 consulting, and global SaaS. I've passed the audit you're worried about.

Architect-Level Decisions

10 Salesforce certifications including System Architect and 7 specialised architect credentials. Platform architecture, integration design, identity, and large-data-volume calls — without learning on your dime.

Productive From Day One

Days, not weeks, to ramp up. I take ownership of the outcome — not just my tickets. Remote-first across EU and UK timezones, invoiced in EUR through Gforce Innovation Kft.

Open Source · AI-Driven · Proof of Work

Tooling I've Built in the Open

Production-grade Salesforce CI/CD tooling, public on GitHub. Designed and built AI-first with Claude Code — then reviewed, tested, and shipped. Not slides; real, reusable code you can read before we ever talk.

shared-github-actions

Reusable GitHub Actions built as proper TypeScript/Node modules — a portable core with thin runtime adapters, unit-tested with Jest and ncc-bundled with automated dist verification in CI. Composite actions for OIDC-based secretless AWS auth and Salesforce JWT login.

Built with Claude TypeScript GitHub Actions OIDC Jest

sf-docker-images

Three purpose-built Salesforce images — a minimal sf-ci runner, a full VS Code sf-devcontainer, and an ultra-light sf-bulk (no Java). Multi-arch, version-pinned, test-gated, and security-scanned on every build.

Built with Claude Docker Multi-arch Tested SF CLI

sfdx-template-enterprise

An opinionated, enterprise-ready Salesforce DX project template: source-driven structure, scratch-org config, automation scripts, and CI wiring — a clean starting point that bakes in the patterns teams usually learn the hard way.
