See a need, fill a need.

Randi WarnerSalesforce engineering leader, Agile & DevOps

I've been building on Salesforce since 2007, and these days I lead a Systems Engineering team. My focus is improving the way we work: sound architecture, Agile and DevOps practices that stick, and teams that stay healthy while they ship. On the side I build my own tools: SaasyLogs, which makes Salesforce debug logs readable, and DwelLogs, a free app for keeping track of home upkeep.

Why I build

What drives the work

01

See a need, fill a need.

Every project I take on starts with a real problem, whether it's mine, my team's, or my family's. SaasyLogs came from fighting Salesforce debug logs. DwelLogs came from family asking for a simple way to keep up with their homes.

02

Be the change you want to see.

If a tool should exist and doesn't, I'd rather build it than wait for someone else to. That goes double for keeping useful things simple, affordable, and respectful of people's data.

03

To reach the stars, you have to aim for them.

The only sure way to fail is to never try. I pick up new tools and stacks by building something real with them, and I aim past what I already know how to do.

04

Work smarter, not harder.

If I have to do something twice, I look for a way to automate it. Good tooling, AI included, frees up time for the problems that actually need a person.

What I do

Leading teams, hands still on the code

I've been a developer, a Scrum Master, a build manager, and a people manager, often at the same time. The common thread is making the platform, the process, and the team work better together.

Salesforce architecture

Clean data models, Apex, and automation that's tested, readable, and holds up at real data volumes, from proof of concept to production.

Engineering leadership

Mentoring engineers and contractors, growing careers, and building team-health practices that reduce burnout instead of feeding it.

DevOps & Agile coaching

CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and code review standards, plus coaching teams through Scrum so delivery gets calmer, not just faster.

Product thinking

I ship my own apps start to finish, so I think about scope, cost, data handling, and what users actually need.

  • Apex
  • SOQL / SOSL
  • REST integrations
  • JavaScript
  • UI/UX
  • DevOps
  • Git / GitHub
  • CI/CD
  • Agile / Scrum
  • Automated testing
  • Performance optimization
  • Mentoring
  • Google Apps Script
Projects

What I'm building, and why

I design, build, and ship both of these myself, from idea to launch.

SaasyLogs

Salesforce dev tool

Salesforce debug logs without the scroll-and-squint.

The problem

Debug logs are huge, noisy, and hard to read. Finding the one line that matters eats time on every bug.

Why I'm building it

I live in these logs, so I'm building the tool I want to use on every bug.

DwelLogs

In development · free app

One place for your home's assets, maintenance schedules, parts, service providers, and projected costs.

The problem

Home upkeep lives in scattered notes, receipts, and memory. Homeowners, condo owners, and renters all lose track of what's due and what it'll cost.

How I'm approaching it

  • Free and simple first; scale up only as needed
  • Low running costs by design
  • Careful handling of user data from day one
  • Built in staged MVPs
