Hey, my name’s Patt ♥
Hello all! My name is Patt MacMillan. I’m originally from Nova Scotia, Canada, and have been living in Austin, Texas for the better part of a decade.
I’ve been working with Sitecore for the past 10 years, and across various different versions of the platform. I’m a certified developer in several different versions of Sitecore, and I’m currently working as a Principal Sitecore / .NET Developer at Velir.
In 2025, I was named a Sitecore Technology MVP.
When I’m not working, I’m either gardening, at the gym, or on a hike with my dog Pepper.
If you have any questions about Sitecore or how to keep a houseplant alive, ask away!
