About

13 years inside AEM.
Here's what I learned.

🏆 Adobe Certified AEM Master

I'm the person companies call when AEM gets hard. When a replication queue is stuck at midnight before a go-live. When a component architecture that made sense in the discovery phase falls apart at scale. When the migration estimate triples and the client needs a clear path forward by Monday morning.

I've been building on Adobe Experience Manager for over 13 years — from AEM 5.x through to AEM as a Cloud Service. I've worked on large enterprise implementations across industries: financial services, retail, media, healthcare. The kind of deployments where getting it wrong isn't just a bug ticket, it's a headline.

Why AEM Insider exists

Here's the problem: there is almost no good public content for AEM practitioners. The Adobe documentation covers the basics. After that, you're left with sparse forums, outdated blog posts, and hard lessons learned at your client's expense.

For years I kept everything I learned to myself — or shared it in Slack DMs with other AEM folks I trusted. AEM Insider is me finally changing that.

Every piece of content here — every newsletter issue, every YouTube video, every resource — is the thing I wish had existed when I was figuring this out. Real-world patterns, honest takes, and the details that actually matter at enterprise scale.
