David Nava
author title Salesforce Architect EvangelistI’m an unconventional architect and Navy Veteran who leveraged Salesforce Military and the Military Trailblazer community to transition from military service to the Salesforce ecosystem. I’m passionate about continuous learning, mentorship, and enabling the upskilling of architects at every stage of their career journey.
I am 22x Salesforce Certified, a Trailhead All Star Ranger (2800+ Badges), and an Agentforce Legend. My career has focused on applying deep platform expertise to architecting scalable solutions across Sales, Service, Experience, and Industry Clouds - designing and delivering technical solutions that accelerate time to value, increase user adoption, and support account growth for customers.
I’m planning the next project, preparing for the next certification, building the next demo, mentoring current and aspiring Salesforce professionals, and sharing my perspective on social.
