My First TrailblazerDX as a Salesforce CTA

My first TrailblazerDX experience was in 2018, back then it was called Trailhead DX. I was bright, eager, and ready to take on my architect bootcamp. Now, five years later, I’m back in person with an even deeper understanding of the Salesforce platform as a Salesforce Certified Technical Architect (CTA), and I’m blown away!

My first Trailhead DX!

I did everything and then some.

At the Salesforce MVP Party, I had the chance to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. It was amazing to experience the #onecommunity in action, surrounded by so many friends from the MuleSoft Ambassador program, Slack Leaders, and Tableau Visionaries.

I spent a lot of time meeting with Salesforce CTAs and aspiring CTAs.

I had a sit-down with the amazing Vatora, and shared my Trailblazer journey as part of the very first #AskTheTrailblazer broadcast panel at TrailblazerDX, along with Rafael Hernandez, Christopher Randolph, and Clara Pérez. The session is available on Salesforce+: Ask The Trailblazer: Advance Your Career in the Ecosystem. A must watch!
