My Sitecore Footsteps

After working 12 years with Sitecore community, I'm moving away from my community contributions.

Some of you might know me well as Sitecore Footsteps (Twitter: scFootsteps).

For those who don't know me earlier, I'm a 6 times Sitecore Technology MVP (2016 - 2021) from in Sri Lanka. I'm working with Sitecore product from year 2010. Currently I'm working as a Freelance Sitecore Consultant.

In the past 12 years, I have contributed to the community by:

- Blogs

- Presentations at Events

- Organising user group events

- YouTube videos

- Sitecore Slack/StackExchange/Sitecore Community site

- Providing feedback to Sitecore related to their product/releases & trainings

I was initially awarded Sitecore MVP title in 2016 (https://sitecorefootsteps.blogspot.com/2016/02/sitecorefootsteps-chaturanga-ranatunga.html) and was awarded the title continuously for 6 years now.

Main reasons for this decision is, I'm starting to lose interest on Sitecore development. Losing the interest in Sitecore development is mainly due to my personal interest and nothing mentioned here relates to Sitecore product.

I'm thanking all the teams that I have worked with (as a full-time employee & as a contractor), all the community contributors including MVPs and Sitecore technical marketing team.

It was great fun meeting all my Sitecore friends that I initially only knew through forums & twitter.

What's for me in future,

Currently I don't have a clear idea on which path I will take after this.

I will continue to work as Freelance/Contract Sitecore Consultant, which still help pay my bills :-)

Also I have started to learn new technologies and will try to implement/code few test solutions using those technologies.

Wish you all best for all the Sitecore community... :-)
