👋 Welcome New AEM Community Members — October 2025

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 have you been working with AEM
  • How long have 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: @estebanbustamante@narendiran_ravi@sarav_prakash@sreenivasbr@anil_chennapragada@martin_ecx_io@diksha_mishra@dprakashraj@dipti_chauhan@arunpatidar and @tarunkumar

Hey Kautuk,

I’m Julian Tong, currently working as an Executive in E-Commerce, Digital Experience, and Webmaster at the Langham Hospitality Group. My role involves managing web operations, optimizing user experience, and ensuring accessibility across our digital platforms — including several hotel websites built on AEM.

  • Company & Role: LHG – Executive, E-Commerce & Digital Experience
  • Most-used Feature: AEM Sites & Components
  • Area I Want to Improve: Understanding how to personalize and create better site designs, as well as optimizing content and tailoring it to my audience's needs
  • Experience with AEM: About a few months
  • Using AEM: Actively since I started!

🔹 Ice Breaker Answer:
If I could rename one AEM feature, I’d call the “Content Fragment Models” something like “Puzzle pieces” lol.

 

Looking forward to learning from everyone here and sharing ideas. Feel free to reach out if you’re working on anything related to hospitality or multilingual site management!

Hey Kautuk and Adobe Experience Team,

 

I'm Sri Harish Nasaka, currently a Consultant at Deloitte. I’ve been working with AEM for about five years, primarily supporting healthcare and life sciences clients. It’s great to have a community where we can share and learn new things about AEM and its ecosystem!

 

Following @julianto1's lead, here are a few details about me:

  • Company & Role: Deloitte, Consultant
  • Most-used Feature: AEM Sites & Components, XFs, CFs, Assets, CJA Analytics with Target
  • Areas to Improve: I recently discovered Adobe Launch and am eager to explore its capabilities. I’ve also spent the past few months implementing site CJA analytics and am interested in learning more about Adobe Target.
  • Experience with AEM: Just over five years
  • Using AEM: Actively since I started!

Lemme know if you have any questions! Happy to be here and excited to meet everyone in the community! Looking forward to connecting and learning together.

Hi Everyone

I work as a learning specialist for one of Australia's largest banks. Outside of work, I'm also a photographer/ videographer. 

Can anyone confirm if the Adobe Certified Expert exams/certifications still exist? Getting mixed messages from what I can find online.

Hey, fellow photographer here. Nice to meet ya! I most recently shot at LFW 25', hope I can go back to shooting someday though 😞

TBH, I've also been looking for these - they exist however not particularly in AEM.

Adobe Digital Experience Certification Program | Certification Catalog

Have a look and see if there's any that align with what you're looking for. I think Adobe Analytics is always a shout.

@kerriebu Welcome to the community!  It’s great to have you here. Sounds like you bring a perfect mix of creativity and learning expertise to the table. 

You’re right that Adobe’s certification framework has evolved over time. The older Expert and Master tiers have largely been replaced or restructured under the newer ones. Please refer to the link for more details.

@manthan1 Welcome to the community!
Great to have someone with such deep AEM experience, especially across versions from 6.2 all the way to AEM as a Cloud Service. Your background in the airline industry must give you a unique perspective on performance, scale, and reliability.


Out of curiosity, which area of AEM are you most interested in exploring next: Sites, Assets, Edge Delivery, or the new AI-driven capabilities?

Kautuk Sahni

I am excited to learn and deep dive in topics: Edge Delivery Service and new AI-driven capabilities. @kautuk_sahni It would be helpful to guide on the same to get expertised.

@damiachaga Welcome to the community! Great to have an Adobe Commerce developer here. Your experience adds valuable depth to the mix, especially as more teams look to bridge Commerce with AEM and the wider Experience Cloud.
