Experience
Saks Fifth Avenue
As a senior Salesforce commerce cloud developer in the payments squad team, I worked directly with business people and led sprint development, process optimization, and deployment tasks. During the Saks Fifth Avenue payment squad assignment, I resolved taxation, penny distributions, gift cards, and customized promotions issues.
Mattress Firm Site
While working for Visionet Systems, I received the opportunity to work for Mattress Firm on the biggest project in my Salesforce Commerce Cloud career so far. I revamped the SFCC site as a lead developer and led a team of ten developers. I also integrated multiple third-party integrations, including Amazon Pay, PayPal, USAePay, CyberSource, Bazaarvoice, Tealium Analytics, Google Analytics, AX OMS for order fulfillment, and ones for custom promotions and shipping rates.
CPO Outlets
https://cpooutlets.comI revamped CPO outlets from pipelines to the SFRA platform (storefront reference architecture) in Salesforce Commerce Cloud. Specifically, I integrated Yotpo for reviews, PayPal, custom promotions, a bespoke pick-up in-store experience, a social media login system, and SFCC customizations for the checkout and shopping areas.
Mudbay | Pet Food Store
https://shoplocal.mudbay.com/Mudbay was developed with Salesforce Commerce Cloud Storefront Reference Architecture (SFRA).
I worked on that project as a lead developer and technical architect. I integrated custom shipping costs, customized the checkout experience, implemented various delivery methods (local home delivery, ground delivery and pick up in-store), and integrated CyberSource, PayPal, AvaTax, Klaviyo, Feedonomics, and Google Analytics.
Overall it was a 6-month development project with five developers (three back end developers including myself as a team lead, two front-end developers, and one QA).

Nixon Watches
https://www.nixon.com/us/enI worked on Nixon's Adidas watches as a freelance developer and implemented the customized shipping and tax integration. I also injected service cloud scripts for the Contact Us page. Nixon also revamped its checkout experience from a multi-step checkout to a single-page checkout flow.
AX OMS Connection for a Link Cartridge
The project involved building a customized OMS connection for the link cartridge to connect the SFCC with AX OMS so that orders could be made quickly in real-time to the OMS. I set up the REST APIs to send XML/JSON formatted data in OMS so that order fulfillment could be sped up.
