Self-taught Salesforce admin at a late stage startup in Boston. (Official title - Sales Operations, unofficial title: The Oracle). Certified Salesforce Administrator, but beginner coder. No background in CS but interested in Java, Javascript, HTML and CSS for the help they could potentially lend with Apex & Visualforce.
Biggest struggles: understanding documentation written for developers and articulating my problems clearly.
Biggest joys: customizing solutions to work for us, and helping others learn!
