I’m thrilled to announce that I have successfully passed the Optimizely Content Cloud Developer certification exam and can call myself now an Optimizely Certified CMS Developer! 🎉
My journey with what is now Optimizely began back in 2013 when I completed the EPiServer 7 – Development Fundamentals course and worked on multiple EPiServer 6 projects for Reed Business Information in the Netherlands.
Since then, I’ve primarily focused on Sitecore architecture and development, building a proven track record of delivering successful solutions on Sitecore’s DXP platform, including their newest SaaS product, XM Cloud.
This blend of Sitecore and Optimizely experience has equipped me with the skills needed to architect, navigate, and develop complex DXP platforms. With the passing of the Optimizely Content Cloud Developer exam, I’m excited to extend my expertise even further within the Optimizely ecosystem.
Although my recent focus has been on Sitecore, the deep understanding I have of DXP architectures applies seamlessly to Optimizely implementations. I’m eager to dive into projects that leverage Optimizely DXP or the latest Optimizely SaaS offering. My experience with React, Next.js, and GraphQL aligns well with Optimizely’s use of these technologies.
