The Joys Of Apex

I’m currently writing a Salesforce.com Apex blog series on my TDD framework, under the wonderful title The Joys Of Apex — take a look!

Building this site

This website was built using Gatsby. I blogged about the cutover from Next to Gatsby, which was met favorably within the online community.

All of the styling is hand rolled, though I can also recommend the use of Tachyons js to anyone looking to build a site using a small, complete (13 kb!!), CSS framework.

Skills

I’m a fullstack developer working across a variety of different cloud platforms, frontends and backends including:

  • Java
  • C#
  • Salesforce
  • Node.js + TypeScript
  • React.js (Gatsby / Next.js)
  • Angular (unfortunately)
  • SQL + NoSQL

While you can occasionally observe me:

  • dropping * from *
  • using reflection to create anonymous types in C#
  • changing the value of undefined in JS (dated joke, I guess, since this is no longer possible)
  • perhaps enjoying one-time-too-many the mega-classic Wat video

In general, I can be relied upon to write clean code, empower software teams to do their best work, deliver more with better quality, and have fun while doing so.
