Hi there! 👋
This repository documents my Salesforce learning journey, covering everything from Trailhead modules to hands-on projects and practice org experiments.
With over 5 years of experience as a Salesforce User and Admin, I am expanding my skills across Salesforce Administration, Development, Data Management, Analytics, and Integrations to build a well-rounded understanding of the Salesforce ecosystem and transition into a full-time Salesforce professional.
💡 Learning Salesforce, one badge at a time.
This repo serves as a living record of my progress, notes, and mini-projects as I explore Salesforce capabilities end-to-end:
- Core CRM (Sales, Service, Marketing)
- Automation (Flow, Process Builder, Orchestration)
- Analytics (Reports, Dashboards, Einstein Analytics)
- Development (Apex, SOQL, LWC, App Builder)

- Platform Management (User Admin, Security, Deployment)
- Strengthen expertise in Salesforce Administration and Platform App Development
- Build hands-on experience with org configuration, automation, app building, integrations, and data flows

This sprint focuses on strengthening my foundational knowledge across the Salesforce ecosystem and applying it through small, practical projects.
