Jose Garcia Ponce

I’m an IT Architect Director at Salesforce, my team builds internal platforms and tools our IT business partners and employees depend on every day. I began in platform support, moved into engineering roles contributing to the platform itself, and now lead architecture delivering solutions internally. That end-to-end experience informs how I think about scale, reliability, and change.

I design systems to evolve. My focus is on scalable, modular architecture that can absorb change. With over 16 years on the Salesforce platform, I’ve seen how its strengths and trade-offs play out in real organizations. I complement that depth with experience in integration, infrastructure, and DevOps to make decisions that remain sound over time.

I enjoy time in nature, whether exploring new trails or observing the small ecosystems inside my Amazonian blackwater aquarium and garden pond. I’m also a keen chess player, drawn to strategy and the discipline of thinking several moves ahead.
