summer 2025

This summer was awesome.

Coming from a first gen background I had 0 idea what an enterprise company would look/feel like. The scale was unlike anything I'd experienced before, it's crazy to imagine the software behind Salesforce powers millions of users.

It was a great experience to feel SF's ai/builder culture and explore the city. I was able to visit Roblox for their open house, Reddit for a Colorstack event, & learn so much from my manager/mentor.

takeaways

• Performance matters at scale: What seems like a minor optimization can have massive impact when multiplied across millions of users.
• Documentation is everything: In a large organization, clear documentation is essential.
• Customer feedback drives innovation: Real user pain points are the foundation for new features.
