I am a software engineer and certified Salesforce.com professional. I work at Trifecta Technologies with a very talented group of people, primarily on projects that are built directly on the Force.com platform and/or use related technologies such as Java/Spring on Heroku.

Waiting on results for the Advanced Developer programming assignment.

People always tell me how welcome they feel in the Salesforce community. I have worked in the tech industry for a while and believe, without a doubt, that the Salesforce Community of developers, administrators, and users is the strongest community around. We are fortunate to be a part of that Community.

Salesforce is constantly improving their products and setting the bar for what's the state of the art in CRM (and technology in general) and it can be challenging to keep up. No matter what your background (admin, dev, user, just curious) do not hesitate to ask for help. You can learn more about how to participate in the Salesforce Stack Exchange by reading the about page and the faq. Join the Community. Participate. Have fun!
