Bio
Kris Dawson BA, PG Dip Comp
I worked with Matt for almost 2 years during which time I was moving between Salesforce Tester to Developer. Matt joined the business with no prior knowledge of the Salesforce platform and yet was able to learn and get up to speed very quickly. Matt worked hard to gain his certifications in Salesforce Admin and MuleSoft. In addition to this he was also instrumental in helping with my own development, providing support and advice in my Salesforce Developer journey, showing that he is capable of developing others as well as himself. Matt works hard in every area and has a great sense of priority when applying his valuable time to specific tasks.

Matt arrived to Magnify with a year in non IT job and an IT degree. After a few entry level tests it was obvious he was not only exactly what I was looking for, but self challenging and succeeded in all ways and all the time. This meant when he finished tasks and anything I asked of him, he would undertake his own tasks to continually raise his own personal bar. It’s no wonder I rewarded him by more than doubling his salary from start to leave in 4 years. He deserved every credit. Clients loved him, peers loved him, a he loved the work and working for clients. Anyone having Matt working for them is very fortunate.

Jan 2020 - May 2021
Responsible for the development of new functionality via configuration and Apex within the Salesforce Platform. I Evaluate and deploy apps from the AppExchange, design and create bespoke Lightning Web Components to meet complex business needs. I also overhaul and enhance old processes using best practices that update outdated and redundant components and Visualforce pages, maintain the code library, transferring code to declarative methods where possible and make sure the code library is well maintained, documented and fit for purpose. Alongside this I manage projects, including system changes, complete end to end process rebuild and improvements to the onboarding process for clients resulting in an accelerated period to go live. I also manage the new functionality and external App deployments throughout the entire development lifecycle and ensuring process documentation is through and complete. Likewise, I manage releases to the live Salesforce org, consisting of new processes and functionality using Change Sets and VS Code deployment. Show less
