Salesforce developer on retainer
Salesforce problems that live where systems meet, fixed at the root cause.
I help teams understand why complex Salesforce processes are failing, find the actual root cause, and build solutions that are reliable and maintainable, on a simple monthly block of hours.

The problem
Hard Salesforce problems are rarely isolated configuration issues.
They happen where systems meet: authentication, integrations, permissions, automation, data, Apex, and external services. That is where I do my best work.
If your team knows something is failing but cannot explain why, the answer is usually spread across several of those layers. Fixing one layer in isolation makes the error go away for a week.
The goal isn't just to make the error disappear. It's to understand why it happened and leave the system in a better state.
How I approach it
I reconstruct the system end to end:
- Who or what is executing the process
- How authentication works
- What automation runs
- How data moves
- Where external dependencies exist
- Where the observed behavior diverges from the intended design
What I help with
Hands-on Salesforce work for environments that have become hard to maintain.
Integration and authentication troubleshooting
Integration users, credentials, tokens and the external services your org depends on.
Apex and automation
Apex development, debugging, refactoring and test coverage, plus record-triggered Flows and competing automation.
Permissions and access
Profiles, permission sets, identity and execution-context issues, and access behavior that does not match what was intended.
Production issue investigation
Complex incidents, release support and post-deployment validation, with the root cause written down.
Lightning Web Components and Aura
Targeted enhancements delivered without disrupting what already works.
Technical discovery and design
Evaluating technical risk before deployment and designing solutions that fit the broader system.

How it works
Three steps to get started.
Free discovery call
A 30-minute conversation about what is failing, what the environment looks like, and whether a retainer is a good fit.
Choose a plan
Pick the monthly hours that match your workload. Work happens under a written retainer agreement.
Send requests, get written updates
You send work asynchronously. I investigate, make the change, and send written status updates and documentation.
If something is failing and nobody can explain why, tell me what's happening.
Tell me what is failing. The first call is free, takes 30 minutes, and you leave with a clear next step whether or not we work together.
