Develop Architects. Create Leaders. Strengthen Communities.
As part of the Architect Community, I help people grow into Salesforce architects and help architects grow into stronger leaders by providing free training content (video libraries, blogs, mentoring, speaking, and training events).
Many of the people I work with are developers, admins, and consultants. Some are “accidental architects” who already make architectural decisions and want to make them intentionally. As AI changes how we build, architectural thinking matters more, and I want it to be practical and accessible to everyone.
Teach. I explain the reasoning behind architectural decisions, not just the answers, through videos, blogs, and training on this site and my @SteveTechArc (opens in a new tab) YouTube channel.
Grow. I help people take their next step, whether that’s moving from a developer or an admin toward architecture, or from architect toward leadership.
Multiply. The most rewarding moment is when someone I’ve helped starts helping others by teaching, mentoring, speaking, or organizing. As a co-founder of Architect Dreamin’ Americas (opens in a new tab), I work alongside other community builders to make that possible.
Learn in your own language
I want these courses to reach every architect who wants to learn, not only the ones who read English. So I’m using AI to translate them into 30 languages. The translations aren’t perfect yet. If you spot something, tell me, and together we’ll make them better. Why so many languages?
Every diagram, in your language
Not only the words. The diagrams are drawn again in each language, in its own script and reading direction: 96 of them in all 30 languages so far.

Let AI Build Your Data 360 (While You Drink Coffee)
I’m speaking at the Salesforce Admin Group in Denver, at its end-of-year celebration.
Wednesday, November 4, 2026 · 4:00–7:00 PM MST · Denver, Colorado, in person
What if AI could handle most of your Data 360 build while you supervise? This is a casual session, heavy on live demos: AI tools connected to Salesforce through MCP write, package and deploy real Data 360 components, then push them through a deployment pipeline to QA. We’ll see where AI gets it right, where you still need a human in the loop, and a few tips you can try the next day. Afterwards, the group heads out for bowling, food and fun.

Inside the New Salesforce Well-Architected Framework
I’m hosting the Salesforce Architect Group in Phoenix for an interactive discussion.
Thursday, November 5, 2026 · 3:00–5:00 PM MST · SkySong, Scottsdale, Arizona, in person
Salesforce Well-Architected has changed for the Agentic Enterprise. We’ll look at what’s new: the updated principles and pillars, the new Agentic Enterprise lens, and how the framework helps architects weigh trade-offs across Salesforce solutions. Whether you’re an experienced architect, working toward an architect role, or just want to design better Salesforce solutions, come join the Phoenix architecture community.

Build and Deploy Data 360 with AI: From Concept to Production
I’m speaking at the Data Innovation Forum 2026, a two-day online event for enterprise Salesforce architects.
Thursday, November 19, 2026 · 9:00 AM PT · Online
Building a Data 360 solution no longer takes extensive manual effort. In this session, you’ll see how AI tools connected to Salesforce through MCP can drive 70–80% of the build, with only occasional human oversight. We’ll walk through packaging Data 360 components, working through common metadata dependencies, and wiring everything into a repeatable deployment pipeline. You’ll leave with practical strategies to go from AI-assisted development to automated delivery across QA and production.

Architect Dreamin’ 2027: Orlando, February 9–10
Architect Dreamin’ is heading to SeaWorld Orlando, Ports of Call, on February 9–10, 2027, and I’m leading the effort.
Architect Dreamin’ is a conference for architects, by architects. It has thrived in Europe, and I was honored to help bring it to the United States for the first time in 2025, then again in 2026. Organizers from nearly 15 other Community events joined us in person, a strong sign of how much this community supports each other.
Attendance is intentionally limited to support meaningful discussion, collaboration, and connection, so you’ll spend two days learning alongside other architects, not just sitting in sessions.
Registration is opening soon. Get the details at architectdreamin.us (opens in a new tab) →
Honored to be recognized as a Salesforce MVP 2024-2026!
I’m striving to provide fresh content for Salesforce continuously; there are now 122 videos with loads of content on integration, data architecture, security, identity, data cloud, and certifications. I added new series for AI, Flows, and DevOps.
