Day job · 2022–present · Salesforce Professional Services
On Salesforce programs — Bell Canada, MarketWise and others — I skip the static Figma handoff and design straight in working prototype. Across eight engagements, I use that repeatable method to move from research and design into working software earlier.
Bell's "Cornerstone" Consumer Transformation: Communications Cloud + Agentforce + Data Cloud + MuleSoft. I built and shipped a functional Agentforce PLM demo to Bell's sandbox via Heroku in under two weeks — FDE-level output delivered by an XA. To ramp a mid-engagement team, I stood up a NotebookLM tribal-knowledge base that cut discovery onboarding by roughly 70%.
The $40M spans the program's phases — $11M Plan, $28.7M Scaling, and a $7M follow-on win — extended through 2027+.
“I am incredibly proud of our collective team for accomplishing what many deemed an impossible milestone.”
Hadeer Hassaan · CIO, Bell Canada · post-TurboMVP go-live
“Quickly grasps customer's pain points & proposes alternate options… built prototypes on the fly which was more than what the customer expected.”
Bell Canada delivery team · April 2026 standup feedback
Shaped the Phase 0 approach. Built directly in Salesforce sandbox with Cursor + Claude Code. Compressed prototyping → working software by an estimated 60–70%. First to operationalize this in Salesforce PS Design — became the SME other engagement leads brief their teams on.
“He demonstrated a high level of technical maturity and a unique ability to bridge the gap between user experience and system architecture. His proficiency with the latest AI tools significantly accelerated our prototyping phase.”
Mallik Kongara · Solution Architect, MarketWise
“I was very impressed with how quickly they were able to show us a prototype… it helps so much to be able to see a semi-working solution versus mock-ups at any stage.”
Samantha Morrissey · Client Lead, MarketWise (Stansberry)
Supporting initiatives: shared the method through Vibe-o-Verse starter kits and office hours, and built Portfolio Bot and V2MOM Bot for routine team workflows.
Established instant credibility. Followed up by co-authoring practice IP and running the org's first AI Lunch & Learn — before any formal AI enablement program existed.
Independent delivery under ambiguity. Early AI synthesis a full year before MarketWise.
Took over leadership of design activities and presented outputs to the customer to drive alignment. Delivered high-fidelity wireframes when the timeline compressed from 12 weeks to 2.
While the engagement ran, started testing Cursor + Claude Code for LWC delivery — the method later proven on MarketWise and Bell.
Sandbox LWC prototypes, user testing, Heroku readout, client testimonial. Three months later, leadership asked me to brief other teams on the method.
Simultaneous strategic client ownership, executive trust, and cross-functional leadership. Concurrently recruited into the CTO-office agent initiative.
“Josh Cooley may as well be an FDE at this point.”
Eric Etten · Director, Experience Design
“Listen Josh can guide two… he's a ⭐”
Bryan LeBoeuf · SVP, Salesforce Professional Services
“Your perspective would help us build something that scales and is usable by teams in the field. It would be a great Global and Delivery collaboration story.”
Joseph Alviani · Sr. Director, Innovation Architecture & Design
“What he was able to produce from a design & solution perspective blew everyone away.”
Courtney Nielsen · Engagement Delivery Sr. Manager · Q1 FY27 formal feedback, zero growth-area items
“He took over leadership of the design activities with our internal team and presented the outputs to the customer to drive alignment and sign-off.”
Josh Lebak · Experience Design Director · Apple engagement
“For being a newbie, you handled yourself and this engagement like a veteran, so much so that you established instant credibility with the customer.”
Trung Phan · Engagement Director, AAA
“You were able to establish trust with the customer quickly. You were able to operate in a situation with a large amount of ambiguity.”
