Nurhak Kaya

Hi, my name is Nurhak Kaya. I am a Technical Architect and a Lead Developer. I am a Umbraco Certified Master and Umbraco MVP. I am also a member of the Umbraco CMS Community Team.

I've been working with Umbraco since 2014. I have had a chance to work with various versions of Umbraco (v4, v6, v7, v8, v9 and v10). I love the product and the community very much, hence I try to contribute to this amazing project as much as possible in any way I can.

I constantly learn more about Umbraco by generally doing some coding challenges like #100DaysOfCode, or #30DaysOfCode, and share my knowledge with the rest of the community. I always keep an eye on the Umbraco questions on StackOverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/users/1587012/nurhak-kaya) or Umbraco Forum (https://our.umbraco.com/members/NurhakKaya/) so that I could help people and learn from them.

I have been writing blogs since 2012 (https://nurhak-kaya.blogspot.com/), I write for the 24 Days in Umbraco, too.
