👋 Welcome New AEM Community Members — August 2025

[kautuk_sahni]

Welcome to all the new members who joined this month! We’re excited to have you in the Adobe AEM Community. Whether you’re brand new or have been here a while, this space is all about learning, sharing, and connecting with peers who get what you do every day. 

In a world where so much is automated and AI-driven, this space is different — it’s built on humans helping humans. Every question asked, every tip shared, every reply left here makes a real difference. 

If you’re new, this is your first touchpoint — and we’re truly glad you’re here. Think of this thread as a friendly café table where you can pull up a chair, say hi, and get to know others who “get” what you do. To get started, share:

• What company and role are you in
• Which feature you’re using most 
• One area you want to get better at 
• How long you been working with AEM
• How long you been using AEM

And give us your answer to this month's Ice Breaker question for all to kick things off: 
If you could rename one feature in AEM to something more fun, what would you call it?   

If you’re already part of the community, jump in too — share a tip, answer a question, or just welcome someone new. Every reply makes this space more valuable for everyone. 

We are assigning veteran SMEs in a round-robin fashion, and they will be your primary point of contact for any operational or community-related issues.

Buddies for this month: @arunpatidar, @TarunKumar , @narendragandhi , @gkalyan , @Harwinder-singh , @aravindS , @sherinregi and @Himanshu_Jain

Hi everyone,

I’m Kautuk Sahni, and I am managing the AEM and WF community in Adobe. I’ve been with Adobe for nearly 13 years, starting my journey as a Software Engineer before moving into community management. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting product communities, and I’m truly excited to now work with this amazing group. Outside of work, I’m a big sports enthusiast (tennis is my favorite!) and also love cooking and exploring new cuisines. So if you’ve got a favorite recipe, feel free to share — I’m always up for trying something new.

I’m really looking forward to connecting with you all and helping this community grow into an even more engaging, supportive space. Please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime. I’m here to listen, learn, and support.

 Hi All,

I'm Chris Esposito based out of New York City. We have just made the switch to AEM and looking forward to utilizing all that it offers - especially with personalization and Abode Target where we have not made many strides yet. Glad to hear from everyone, and looking forward to sharing successes with AEM.

Best,

Chris

@ChristopherEs1 Welcome, Chris! Great to have you and your team making the switch to AEM. Personalization and Adobe Target open up so many possibilities. You’ll find lots of shared experiences here to help accelerate your journey. Looking forward to hearing about your wins as you dive in!

Hi everyone! I'm Laurel and I'll teach a new course next year called "digitally mediated UX" for our graduate program at West Virginia University. I want to introduce students to this community re: AEM from a consumer-facing perspective.

[kautuk_sahni]

@DrLaurelCook Welcome, Laurel! Exciting to hear about your upcoming course, introducing students to AEM through a UX lens sounds fantastic. The community is a great resource to bring real-world perspectives into your teaching. We’d love to hear more about how your students engage with AEM once the course begins.

Hi everyone,

I’m Oscar Salas, working at Omni.pro as an AEM Tech Lead.
I’ve been working with AEM since 2022, mostly in AEM as a Cloud Service.

What I use the most: Content Fragments and the Sites console.
Where I want to grow: Expanding my knowledge in the content supply chain connected to Assets, and going deeper into Edge Delivery Services for both storefronts and large-scale content site migrations.

If I could rename a feature in AEM, I would call Content Fragments “LEGO Blocks” because of how modular and reusable they are when building scalable content structures.

Looking forward to learning and sharing with this community.

@olsalas711 Welcome, Oscar! Great to have an AEM Tech Lead like you here. Love the ‘LEGO Blocks’ analogy for Content Fragments, spot on! You’ll find plenty of discussions around Assets and Edge Delivery here, so I’m sure your insights will be valuable too. Looking forward to your contributions.
