CV: Adrián Barrera

Salesforce, Data & AI and WordPress technologist with 15 years of experience across enterprise architecture, full-stack engineering, cloud integrations, AI agent enablement, DevOps and performance-focused web platforms. I work across strategy and execution: shaping technical roadmaps, building secure systems, improving operational efficiency and translating complex business needs into maintainable platforms.

Hands-on technical execution

Move fluidly between Apex, LWC, TypeScript, Python, APIs, middleware, WordPress, DevOps pipelines and data modeling.

Performance and security ownership

Improve platform reliability through security reviews, plugin governance, configuration cleanup, testing, CI/CD discipline and load-time optimization.
