👋 Hello, I'm

John Flores

Sitecore XM Cloud Developer Certification (2023)

My passion this past year has been to not just learn Sitecore's headless strategy, but to actively build with it and show others how it all connects. I've made a conscious effort to push past the "getting started" examples with Sitecore XM Cloud and really dig into the wider world of Sitecore's composable products.

I believe the best way to learn is by doing, so I focused on building real solutions that pair XM Cloud with other headless technologies. My goal was to create tangible, real-world examples that I could share with the community. I wanted to help my colleagues and peers see the bigger picture. I wanted them to understand how to build complete applications that use the entire platform, not just the cool frontend layer.

This portfolio details the key projects I've built, the articles I've written, and the community presentations I've delivered to share that journey.
