Kevin Shirley

Senior Salesforce Developer

Senior Salesforce Developer with full-stack expertise in Apex, LWC, React, and Node.js, delivering scalable enterprise solutions across cloud platforms.

About

My coding journey began in 2015, sparked by curiosity about SEO and HTML. Since then, I've grown into a Senior Salesforce Developer building enterprise solutions across industries like finance, insurance, and e-commerce.

Today, I specialize in Salesforce (Apex, LWC, Flow, CPQ) backed by 8+ years of full-stack experience in React, Node.js, and AWS. I thrive on complex integrations and architecture-heavy projects that go beyond declarative solutions.

Beyond coding, I stay active at the gym, enjoy time with family, and plan my next travel adventure.
