About Sameer Khan

Professional SummaryI\'m a seasoned Salesforce and IT professional with 8+ years of experience delivering end-to-end technology solutions across the full Software Development Life Cycle — from analysis and design all the way through implementation and ongoing support. My background spans both Salesforce CRM and Mainframe environments, giving me a well-rounded perspective that bridges modern cloud platforms with enterprise legacy systems.Salesforce DevelopmentOn the development side, I specialize in building robust, scalable solutions using Apex (classes, triggers, controllers), Lightning Applications, Lightning Web Components, and Visualforce Pages. I have deep experience with asynchronous frameworks, trigger frameworks, recursive trigger handling, and web services — ensuring that the solutions I build are not just functional, but built to last. I\'ve also worked extensively with Process Builder, Flows, Quick Actions, Chatter, and the Connect API to automate business processes and improve team collaboration.Salesforce Administration & ConfigurationI\'m equally strong on the administration side — managing security models, profiles, roles, page layouts, org-wide defaults, and sharing rules to ensure the right people have access to the right data. I\'ve configured and maintained custom objects, reports, dashboards, analytic snapshots, workflow approvals, and data validation rules that keep organizations running smoothly and efficiently.Integrations & APIsI have hands-on experience with a variety of integration methodologies and API frameworks, allowing me to connect Salesforce with external systems in a clean, reliable, and maintainable way. Whether it\'s inbound or outbound data flows, I understand how to architect integrations that scale with the business.Cross-Functional Business SupportBeyond the technical work, I\'ve partnered closely with Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, and Support teams — which means I understand not just how to build on Salesforce, but why solutions are designed the way they are and how they impact the people using them every day. I enjoy bridging the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders, translating complex requirements into solutions that are practical and impactful.I\'m passionate about solving complex problems and delivering clean, scalable solutions that make a real difference for both the business and the end user.
