I'm Sonja Broach.

I was part of a recent leadership restructuring decision at Sunrun.

I have worked across varying tech stacks in distributed, complex, and data-heavy architectures, but my deep experience lies in Salesforce and the Force.com platform. I have worked deeply with Sales, Service, Health, and Experience Clouds, with more limited experience in Field Service Lightning and Marketing cloud. I have seen large scale issues and dealt with major performance improvements.

I have worked on all kinds of integrations spanning point-to-point Apex, middleware, and MuleSoft. Also have experience with MsSQL, PostgresSQL, Snowflake, and Tableau.

I thrive as a hands on vision-painter, solution / technical / data architect, and get hands on when needed.

As an engineering leader I have supported large (100) and small teams (5), creating transparent career architecture and strengthening engineering culture. I have managed senior managers, technical architects, test automation leaders, and senior engineers. I am accustomed to a high-growth, fast-paced environment where priorities change frequently.

I invest in my teams and team culture and the careers of individuals. I believe in creating transparency and being candid so people know where they stand and how to move their career forward. I have experience creating staffing strategies of all kinds with permanent, staff augmented, and consultant type employees.

I work with business partners at all levels including the c-team to envision and communicate long term solution and capability roadmaps, system implementations, and design process automation alongside business partners to translate the business needs into technical design.

I build for quality and longevity with guiding principles that a team can rally around when architecting solutions, including a focus on testing and test automation, strong observability practices, and playbooks for responding to issues.
