About The Author

Hi, I'm Swarnil.

I am on a mission to become a top-tier Salesforce Application Engineer. To hold myself accountable, I decided to build in public. That's how Namaste Salesforce was born.

This is an open-source Ghost theme and learning platform where I document everything I learn—from the absolute basics of Salesforce Administration to complex Apex architectures, LWC, and third-party integrations.

By breaking down complex concepts into simple, end-to-end training modules and custom courses, I'm not just preparing for my dream role at a GTM product company—I'm building a free resource for the entire Ohana.
