The year 2016  was a successful year of growth at Home Team Consulting but most important is the impact I was able to have on others.

There’s plenty to be thankful for but among the top on my list is the opportunity to help 37 unique clients leverage the Salesforce platform. Witnessing clients improve their business processes through solutions that I designed and developed is a great motivation for me to also improve my services. This year, I upgraded my force.com Developer certification by attaining the new Platform App Builder and Platform Developer I certifications.

Here are more of this year’s highlights:
