Hi, all you friendly people.
My name is Lasse, and I’m the new Product Owner for the Umbraco CMS team and one of the older Umbraco fans.
“Maybe you should check out www.umbraco.org”
In 2008, I was working as a Delphi developer and partner in a smaller software company developing Windows software for auditors and tax advisors. I was also – among other things – managing the company website, which needed a brush-up.
On January 11th, 2008, I wrote an email from my company email to my private email, saying (to myself), “Maybe you should check out www.umbraco.org.”
I spent a weekend looking into Umbraco and immediately fell in love with the combination of open source, .NET, and the nice and friendly environment. Umbraco then became my CMS of choice, and when Niels Hartvig (founder of Umbraco) sent out the very first Umbraco newsletter on May 7, 2008, I was one of the recipients :-)
Since my days as a Delphi developer, I’ve had the chance to work with technologies like .NET and Azure, but my focus has shifted more and more to business development and product management, including my new role as Product Owner.
I really like to make things happen and to innovate with skilled colleagues and customers, and I look forward to taking part in the future development of Umbraco.
