Freelance Salesforce Developer
Salesforce Developer
10+ Years. 85 Production Releases. 50 Documented Mistakes.
I have made every mistake you can make on the Salesforce platform and documented all of them publicly. That means when you hire me, you are hiring someone who has already paid the tuition. You get the expertise without the learning curve.
Why Hire Me
You are not hiring a resume. You are hiring receipts.
50 Documented Mistakes
I have publicly documented 50 real Salesforce mistakes I have made over my career. That means I will not make them on your org. Most developers hide their failures. I publish mine so you benefit from them.
85 Production Releases in 8 Months
Not prototypes. Not sandbox demos. 85 production releases for a real AppExchange product. With tests. With documentation. With security review. That velocity is what you get.
Value-Based Pricing
I do not bill by the hour and stretch timelines. I charge for outcomes. What takes a $200/hr consultant 6 months takes me a day. You pay less. You get it faster. Everyone wins except the billing-by-the-hour crowd.
AI-Augmented Development
I use Claude Code to build production Salesforce software at 100x speed. This is not a gimmick. I shipped two complete websites, an AppExchange app, and hundreds of Apex classes using AI-augmented workflows.
Specialties
Deep expertise, not surface-level familiarity. I go deep on every one of these.
Apex Development
Custom triggers, batch jobs, REST/SOAP callouts, queueable chains, platform events. 10+ years of production Apex across enterprise orgs, ISV products, and complex integrations.
Lightning Web Components
Custom LWC from scratch, component libraries, wire adapters, event communication, performance-optimized rendering. I build UI that Salesforce admins can actually use.
Flows & Automation
Screen flows, autolaunched flows, record-triggered flows, scheduled flows. I know when to use a Flow and when Apex is the right call. Most consultants do not.
CI/CD & DevOps
Scratch orgs, GitHub Actions, SFDX, metadata deployments, package development. I set up pipelines that let you ship with confidence instead of crossing your fingers.
Integrations
REST APIs, SOAP services, middleware, named credentials, external services, platform events. I connect Salesforce to anything and make it reliable.
AppExchange Products
Built Delivery Hub from zero to AppExchange-listed. 85 production releases in 8 months. Security review passed. 90%+ test coverage. I know managed packages inside and out.

Talk minus action equals zero. Here are the receipts.

How to Hire Me
Three steps. No procurement process. No 47-slide decks.
Tell me the problem.
Email me or use the consulting form. Be specific about what is broken or what needs building. I do not need a requirements document. I need the truth.
I give you a straight answer.
If it is in my wheelhouse, I will tell you the timeline and cost. If it is not, I will tell you that too. No scope creep. No discovery phase billing.
I build it. Fast.
Production-ready, tested, documented. What takes teams months takes me days. You will wonder why it used to take so long.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Salesforce developer do?
+
A Salesforce developer builds custom solutions using Apex (server-side code), Lightning Web Components (front-end), Flows (automation), and APIs. They customize CRM functionality, build managed packages, create automated workflows, and solve complex business problems.
How do I become a Salesforce developer?
+
Start with a free Salesforce Developer Edition org and Trailhead. Complete the Apex and LWC trails, then pursue the Platform Developer I certification. Build real projects and contribute to open source. Most employers value hands-on experience and certifications over formal degrees.
What is the average salary for a Salesforce developer?
+
In the US, junior developers start around $80K-$100K, mid-level earn $100K-$140K, and senior developers or architects can earn $150K-$200K+. Freelance rates are often higher but include managing your own benefits and business overhead.
What is the difference between a Salesforce admin and developer?
+
Admins use declarative tools (point-and-click, Flows, reports) without writing code. Developers write custom code using Apex, LWC, and APIs for complex requirements. The best professionals understand both sides and choose the right approach for each requirement.
Is Salesforce development a good career?
+
Salesforce development offers consistent demand, competitive salaries, and a clear certification path. The ecosystem employs millions worldwide, and the skills transfer across industries since virtually every type of company uses Salesforce.
