Work Experience
Technical Architect
Goldman Sachs
- Built a one-stop solution for bankers' needs by reducing the number of systems they interact with. Migrated all the old CRM activities to Salesforce, released and finished the user onboarding of more than 2000 users on the Salesforce mobile app.
- Developed a Salesforce access control driven by role-based permits. The users would be assigned one or more role(s), and once approved, those role(s) would be translated to Salesforce access control artifacts such as profiles, permission sets, public groups, and licenses.
- Established a highly complex implementation using Apex-based sharing, which utilizes platform events to trigger the Async sharing calculation.
- Implemented CI/CD pipelines using Gitlab for an org-dependent package delivery model for independent and isolated features.
Platform Specialist
Publicis Sapient
- Developed a highly innovative lightning web component-based, multilingual support center on the Salesforce Service Cloud for United Parcel Service. Engaged actively in the deployments and countrywide rollouts of the support center.
- Contributed to building IQVIA's AppExchange product, a highly configurable enterprise system that allows clients to manage documentation for their medical products.
- Built a microservices-based, headless online platform for Cargill using Salesforce B2B Commerce, allowing customers to browse and buy the products.
Technical Architect
Trekbin
- Built Product Express using AppExchange. Product Express allows users to add multiple products to any opportunity or quote quickly in a user-friendly manner. It enables creating product bundles and templates by packaging multiple products together.
- Connected various eCommerce marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, BigCommerce, and Shopify with Salesforce according to the client's vision to track the customer's orders, feedback, and returns to manage the marketplace stores efficiently.
- Worked for an investment banker client who has a large customer base in Canada. The client wanted to bring that communication into Salesforce as cases for efficient handling. Salesforce Email-to-Case was used to cater to the client's needs.
Senior Technical Lead
Trekbin
- Acted as a tech lead and handled the release planning with the product owner. The client wanted to build an intranet solution, which could be targeted, to multiple end customers in a customizable fashion based on their needs.
- Built a portal where partners can see their pipeline and customers can see their insurance history, pay their premiums, and ask a query or log a case for support. The client is a financial firm that deals with insurance.
- Used various integrations, such as E-Renter, PayPal, and DocuSign. The public website (multi-step form) allows users who are prospective tenants to lease a unit in a listed apartment. It was built using the Force.com platform using VF pages.
Experience
B2B Commerce Platform for Cargill
The project's goal was to build a B2B online platform so customers could browse and buy products, contact their sales agent or service representative, and view their active contracts.
The microservice-based project via Salesforce B2B Commerce was integral in defining the product and account model and various entitlements. We implemented using a headless commerce architecture, where all interaction happens via an API layer.
I played a Salesforce B2B Commerce domain architect and helped set up the continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) process, and designed a data model and API contracts. I also contributed to the project's development and implementation, data load jobs, and planning development and releases.
UPS Customer Engagement Center | Service Cloud
The goal of this project is to enhance the existing application to provide better support to customers and improve agent efficiency, which involves:
• Ability to view all customer interactions regardless of channel, allowing CCRs to understand the customer needs.
• Ability to communicate updates and resolutions using the customer's preferred communication channel to improve customer experience and increase efficiency.
• Assist CCRs, using guided flows and knowledge to find the correct information for the customer.
• Enhanced reporting and analytics to understand our customer needs.
It is a highly innovative Lightning web component-based, multilingual user interface built on Service Cloud. Email-to-Case, Web-to-Case, CTI integration, the routing engine, and the knowledge approval process, to name a few, are part of the entire solution. This system is built for worldwide release to all UPS centers.
I was involved in driving story refinement, solution, designing, implementation, and review. I actively participated in deployments and countrywide rollouts.
IQVIA Smart Labeling | AppExchange App
regulations, disparate systems, and intense cost pressures with a new, integrated approach to compliance.
The goal of the project was to build a highly configurable and customizable enterprise system for label creation, review, and delivery to healthcare agencies, which helps clients manage documentation (e.g., labels) for their medical products, which in turn allows them to launch their products faster in a new market and subsequently manage the necessary updates efficiently.
Implementation required integration among Salesforce, Heroku, DMS, and structured content authoring using MuleSoft as ESB.
I worked as a principal architect, leading entire technical solutions by coordinating with clients and different track leads. I was also involved in initial POCs for making intelligent decisions about products and technical stacks.
Partner and Customer Community
A VF community was implemented using partner and customer plus licenses to fulfill the business needs.
My role was as the lead developer.
IHS Markit | Salesforce Implementation
The project was about defining and implementing the unified business process (sales, support, and marketing) using Salesforce when mergers happened between IHS and Markit. Lightning experience and custom lightning components were used extensively.
I was engaged as a lead developer.
