My adventure with Magento started 6 years ago with version 0.9. It was a long way, not easy and not always easy to find, however, after years I know it was the best choice – working with top eCommerce customers, a powerful system and a great community are the best rewards. Mastering Magento is a continuous work, not everyone has enough patience to know all details of the framework & features.

Today, I’m proud to announce, that I just become one of the first Magento Certified Solution Specialists in the world. I took the exam as a beta tester, now the exam is available to everyone attending Magento Imagine in Vegas. Official listings of all certified specialists should be published later this month.

Who is a Solution Specialist? According to Magento website:

Magento Solution Specialist is an expert user of the Magento ecommerce platform. Drawing on a deep background in business and ecommerce, the Magento Solution Specialist can efficiently align business objectives with Magento functionality, optimize use of native features, and avoid unnecessary customization.

Magento's certification is not obligatory when working with the system, but for sure is one of the best verification when choosing a new eCommerce Partner. So, if you’re looking for a new eCommerce Partner for your business, now you know who can help you understand all the pros & cons of Magento.
