Joey Smith Completes AEM Sites DevOps Certification

There's always lots of good stuff happening at Hoodoo Digital. We are pleased to announce that Joey Smith has completed the Adobe Certified Expert exam for the Adobe Experience Manager Sites DevOps Engineer. This exam certifies that he “has proven knowledge and experience to help clients optimize the value of their Adobe solution.” Adobe provides an exam guide that outlines the things that an Architect should be proficient with in order to pass the exam.

At a minimum, the candidate seeking to become certified as an Adobe Experience Manager Dev/Ops Engineer has:

• At least 2 years of experience installing, configuring, monitoring, operating, and troubleshooting AEM (V6.3 and higher)
• Configure Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment tasks

Familiarity with the following technologies and environments:

• Terminal
• Maven
• Version control systems (CVS. SVN, git)
• Text Editor
• Curl
• Build and deployment tools (Bamboo, Jenkins, TeamCity, Travis)
• Unix

Of his desire to get certified, Joey said: “The biggest motivation was to measure my knowledge base against what Adobe expects a DevOps Engineer to know, and to discover any gaps in what I do know vs what I should so I can fill them.”

Joey is a DevOps Engineer and has been with Hoodoo Digital since January of 2020. He has worked with AEM since 2013 and has helped to create content for the AEM community to inform and educate both the technical and marketing user base. Joey serves as the Director of Client Enablement and DevOps Engineering. We are very proud of his hard work in completing the certification and are so glad to have him part of the Hoodoo team.
