Pasang Tamang

Hi, I’m Pasang Tamang, a Microsoft MVP, Tech Lead, and Umbraco specialist based in Kathmandu, Nepal. I currently work at https://www.zaaks.nl/, a Dutch company based in Utrecht, The Netherlands, where I lead .NET and Umbraco development projects. Alongside my Tech Lead role, I have also been involved in managing the ZAAKS! development team and Kathmandu office operations since 2012. I have been working with Umbraco CMS since 2010 and specialize in building modern web solutions using Umbraco and the Microsoft .NET ecosystem.
 
Beyond my professional work, I have been actively involved in the tech community since 2013 as a speaker, event co-host, and community contributor. Since 2023, I have been leading community events focused on Microsoft technologies, driven by my passion for knowledge sharing and developer collaboration. I also regularly write technical articles, primarily on C# Corner, and have developed several Umbraco packages through both company and personal initiatives.
 
I enjoy contributing back to the developer community and have been working closely with Melvin van Rookhuizen since 2012 across professional projects, community initiatives, and the broader Umbraco ecosystem, sharing a common passion for technology and collaboration.

From Umbraco 8 to Umbraco 17 in One Leap: uSync, Cursor, and the Umbraco MCP

Upgrading a CMS across nine major versions sounds like a nightmare, but what if you could skip every step in between? Pasang walks us through migrating a large Umbraco 8 site straight to v17 in a single leap, preserving schema, dictionary, media, and content along the way, using uSync, Cursor, and the Umbraco MCP working together.
