Sheet 01 — Orientation

Joined,
not glued.

I design, build and repair Salesforce orgs so they work, and keep working. Ten years of reading whole systems before cutting into any part of them.

Exploded drawing of the ForceOps joint: member A, what the business needs, and member B, how it’s built, cut to fit with no glue. JOINT 01 — CUT TO FIT, NO GLUE A — WHAT THE BUSINESS NEEDS B — HOW IT’S BUILT 2017 — NOW

Sheet 02 — Method

Mark the whole line before the first cut.

  1. 01

    Survey the whole piece

    Automation, data model, integrations, permissions. A single request gets read against everything it touches.

  2. 02

    Find what’s under the sheets

    The overlapping flows, the code that won’t scale, the fix nobody wrote down. Found up front, not in production.

  3. 03

    Cut once

    Built to the plan in source control, tested, and deployed the same way every time.

  4. 04

    Leave it square

    Documented in words your team can use, so it keeps working long after I step away.

Work type 01

Restoration

For orgs pieced together over years with no real direction. I take them apart in the right order, find what failed and why, and rebuild them into a well-oiled machine.

  • flows nobody can explainone purpose each
  • code that didn’t scalebulk-safe, tested
  • changes made by hand in prodsource-controlled releases

Work type 02

Fine additions

For orgs that are already well built. Shoes off at the door. New work fitted with surgical precision, so the house is exactly as sound when I leave as when I arrived.
