Developer Evangelist for Salesforce. I build things and try to inspire others to build. I'm half developer, half community organizer, half blogger, half event speaker. Before Force.com (recently renamed to Lightning Platform) I worked with Java. These days I'm diving back into the world of Javascript, the Rocky Balboa of languages, I'm excited by ES2015+ standards being implemented in more browsers, dipping my toe in React, and am fascinated with Elixir and Phoenix.
