Took over .Net Edinburgh Meetup

After the previous organisers had not kept the meetup running, I took it over with a friend and relaunched .Net Edinburgh

I hosted a virtual event as an initial kick off

Umbraco MVP renewed

For a 3rd year in a row my Umbraco MVP award was renewed. 

A return to CodeCabin

CHECK THE DATE

A return to CodeCabin for me. This time we had internet access and it was held at a different venue. Another great event. Always welcoming, always fun. Highly recommend it to anyone. 

Codegarden 2019 - Imposters in the Cloud

Have you ever launched a website but not had the courage to tell the world? Have you worried that people would judge your work because you hadn't used the latest framework? Or have you struggled with a seemingly 'simple' task? Come join The Imposters' Club and we'll talk you through some Umbraco Cloud projects we've worked on, some of the fears we've had and how we solved them.

Umbraco MVP renewed

My Umbraco MVP award was renewed for another year. A surprise but amazing to have a second MVP title. 

The CG Tshirt

My first Codegarden and I wanted to meet as many people as I could so I came up with an idea. Create a github repo where people could add their name. I would then get all the names printed on to a tshirt and we would tick off the names once I had met them. 
The plan was to get everyone ticked off on the first day but some people decided to avoid me to force me to wear the tshirt for 2 full days. 😆

I met everyone, made some life long friends and even added a few extra names to the tshirt during the conference

Awarded an Umbraco MVP award

After only being involved in the Umbraco Community for a year, I was shocked to receive and email congratulating me on being award an Umbraco MVP award! 
I went to my first Codegarden to pick up the award from Niels Hartvig on the main stage

CodeCabin

CodeCabin 2017 was a highlight for me. The first time I had been to an Umbraco "event". I made friends and learned loads. A fantastic event. 
This particular year was fun as I learned out to solder and work on an Umbraco site with no internet access. 😆

Drove down to the Peak District and had lots of fun with a drone that I borrowed from my workplace. 

Launched Umbraco Edinburgh Meetup

After working with Umbraco CMS for 3 months and really enjoying it, I decided I wanted to meet other Umbraco Developers from the Edinburgh area. I couldn't make it to the Glasgow meetup so I launched EDINBUUG, the Edinburgh Umbraco Users Group.
