About the Author

Josh Rei
Josh Rei

Hi, I'm Josh Rei, a seasoned Salesforce Technical Architect with a passion for shaping the digital landscape. At Red Van Workshop, my work spans over a decade, delving into the intricate world of Salesforce, where I artfully blend technical proficiency with innovative thinking to drive business transformation.

Beyond the realms of technical architecture, I'm a fervent coder and a lifelong learner, constantly exploring new languages and technologies. My enthusiasm for coding is not just about the syntax or the algorithms; it's about the endless possibilities they unlock in solving real-world challenges.

When I'm not immersed in the ever-evolving world of tech, you'll find me lost in the pages of a sci-fi novel, exploring futuristic worlds and ideas. This love for sci-fi is more than a hobby; it's a window into imagining and understanding the future, a future I strive to shape through technology.

My journey is about continuous learning, creating impactful solutions, and sharing insights. On Medium, I aim to demystify complex tech concepts, share my experiences in Salesforce, and explore the intersection of technology with everyday life.

Welcome to my space, where technology meets curiosity, and every article is a step towards understanding the future we're building.
