I'm Matheus Gonçalves

Software Engineer, Lead Member of Technical Staff

Salesforce

As an integral part of the Content Engineering Team, I spearhead the development of Hands-On Challenges for Trailhead, ensuring quality user experiences for our Trailblazers. This involves creating and maintaining our proprietary tools (Salesforce on Salesforce), enabling streamlined content development, as well as as developing a UI testing automation framework, and overseeing security for badges and superbadges across a variety of orgs and clouds. These include Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Einstein, and Heroku.

My role mandates an in-depth comprehension of cloud technologies and architecture to make data-driven decisions regarding Hands-on Challenges feasibility. This involves software development utilizing languages like Apex, JavaScript, Ruby, and SOQL/SOSL, and writing test classes via Apex and Jest for Lightning Web Components.

Additionally, I'm committed to establishing and refining stringent engineering processes, ensuring service quality, predictable delivery of new capabilities, and continuous improvement in metrics.

In terms of team development, I actively mentor junior members, instilling key software engineering concepts and emphasizing best practices. I take it beyond just the selection of methods and tools to explaining the rationale behind each choice, such as the applicability of certain sorting algorithms and honing problem-solving skills.

Overall, my objective is to foster a high-performing, inclusive team culture that aligns with Salesforce's core values and principles. By doing so, I aim to nurture talent and evolve our team into a formidable development organization.

Technical Proficiencies: Apex, Lightning Web Components, Aura, Jest, TypeScript, JavaScript, Visualforce, Java, Python, Ruby, VHS, Nodejs, SOQL, Heroku, Visual Studio Code, and SFDX.
