The Umbraco CMS community is one of a kind ❤️ Not only is it the friendliest community, but it also consists of some of the most dedicated and talented Umbracians 🙌 And this year, we’ve introduced you to 13 of these lovely people.

The year is coming to an end, and last week we got to publish the last uProfile of 2019. It’s with enormous joy and honour that we each month got to share a unique Umbraco story written by one of our many dedicated community members.

Each uProfiler has been asked more or less the same questions, but as you’ll discover in a minute, each of them has their own story to tell! 

Some of them are newbies, others are “seasoned” Umbracians, but each and every one of them has their own experiences, favourite moments and interests which all highlight different aspects of what it means to be a part of such a diverse community! 

We’re sending out our biggest SuperTak’s and H5YR to all 2019 uProfiles. 

Now, if you missed any of these, this is your chance to catch up, as we’ve collected them all for you. Happy reading 🕶

January 2019: Fedosja van der Lee
