How I Got into Salesforce

This article has been sitting in my drafts for some time.
I believe it was the first draft I ever wrote, but for some reason I’ve never published it.

How did I get involved in Salesforce

Short answer: my new job in Dell Technologies.

Long answer: I have been Software Engineer (And even become Team Lead) for sometimes and mainly using C# programming language for development. It is a good job, not overly hard and its easy to see what you have accomplished at the end of the day.

Then, I have been recruited by Talent Acquisition from Dell Technologies in LinkedIn. Long story short, I go for the interview and getting hired for the Senior Software Engineer.

During the interview, I being informed about Salesforce and the Apex class that being used in Salesforce is similar to C# language.
I instantly Googled Salesforce, created a Trailhead account, and became fixated on finding solutions to every Salesforce-related issue I had ever come across.
I became aware of how much fun I was having combining my two passions for technology and business to find solutions.

As a result, I decided to study everything I could about Salesforce.

This led me to learn as much as I could about Salesforce and I am now Salesforce Certified Associate. Now I spend as much time as I can studying Salesforce, working on certificates, building solutions in my dev org and documenting what I have learned.

CYLIM87’s NFT Marketplace

What Is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)?

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are cryptographic assets on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other.

Unlike cryptocurrencies, they cannot be traded or exchanged at equivalency.
This differs from fungible tokens like cryptocurrencies, which are identical to each other and, therefore, can serve as a medium for commercial transactions.

Key Takeaways

  • NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain and cannot be replicated.
  • NFTs can represent real-world items like artwork and real estate.
  • “Tokenizing” these real-world tangible assets makes buying, selling, and trading them more efficient while reducing the probability of fraud.
  • NFTs can also function to represent individuals’ identities, property rights, and more.
  • Collectors have sought NFTs as their value initially soared, but has since moderated.

This few days I have been explore more in-dept into the NFT and at the same time buy & mint some NFT.
At this point of time, I am on Pentas, OpenSea. (Might be go for other Marketplace with different Network)

Most of the photoshoots available are unique and won’t be available in other network. (All photoshoots NFT owner will get RAW and original JPG file with metadata)
However, all of my artwork will be available across network.

atome

atome About Us Website

Few weeks back, I bought Manchester United 22/23 Home Kit from Al-Ikhsan Sports using Atome.

atome is a BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) application that is available I think at the moment only in Malaysia.
There was quite a lot of places support this application either online or physical stores.

You can choose the repayment period of minimum 3 months to 6 or 12-months payment plan. (The minimum payment amount is RM 10)
However, you could proceed with early settlement after 2 weeks after 1st payment.

As usual, only buy what you can afford.
Shopping can be fun and responsible when you buy only what you need and can afford to pay back.

Nike Go FlyEase

Nike Go FlyEase Shoes

Nike has been subtly revolutionizing the way we wear shoes.

I believe this shoes is not available in physical stores in Malaysia.
I search in Sunway and KLCC branch but yet to find it.
So, I order it thru Nike website.
It take less than 1 week to reach. (I ordered it on 28th August and reach 1st September)

Nike Go FlyEase Shoes

Here comes Nike GO FlyEase.
First unveiled in February, this is really very convenient (which is why I bought this in the 1st place) due to there isn’t a need to tie any laces because they include a hinge that allows them to bend in half.
Simply stepping inside the shoes causes them to enclose your feet.
You stand on the heel of your foot and raise your foot out to remove them.

Nike Go FlyEase Shoes

The FlyEase mechanism on the Go FlyEase has amazed me.
It performs admirably.
I found it to be simple and put them on without any difficulty the first time.
