Søren Kottal

Front end tech lead at Ecreo in Denmark. After trying out almost every CMS available (even tried to build a few of my own), I ended up working with Umbraco in 2013, and have never looked back. I love learning new tech, and works hard everyday to make my clients’ experience with their websites even better.
