Adobe Creative Cloud Developer Champions
This group of Adobe Community Professionals go above and beyond to improve experiences for Creative Cloud and Adobe Express developer communities.
Justin Taylor
“He's easily the most active and helpful API tester we've ever had… he offers us guidance, prioritization and suggestions based on his years of experience creating Adobe integration. His Bolt-CEP project makes it easier for *all* developers to write Adobe integration; Justin even answers API-related questions on Adobe's forums! His efforts have been vital to Premiere Pro's UXP extensibility efforts.” – Bruce Bullis, Senior Engineering Manager at Adobe
Zuri Klaschka
“It’s almost unbelievable the amount of contribution Zuri has made to UXP while pursuing their studies. They can truly wear multiple hats! I can do nothing but admire the passion, self-starter attitude, and out-of-the-box thinking that Zuri has.” – Kerri Shotts, Group Product Manager at Adobe
Davide Barranca
“My first day on the job at Adobe, my manager gave me one of Davide’s books, saying that it was the best resource to get started with.” - Erin Finnegan, Senior Community Manager at Adobe
Walter Kimaro
“Walter’s approach to helping others with their projects is not just about providing solutions; it's about fostering a deeper understanding and encouraging creative thinking.” – Hamza Habeeb, Senior Developer Advocate at Adobe

“Prasanta has helped many developers, from all learning backgrounds, to enhance their skills and produce better work. His contributions have fostered a culture of learning and mutual improvement, which is invaluable in a community centered around creativity and innovation.” – Hamza Habeeb, Senior Developer Advocate at Adobe
Who are the Creative Cloud Developer Champions?
Developers Champions are Adobe Community Experts who go above and beyond for the Creative Cloud developer community and the Express add-on developer community. They create developer tools, write books, host workshops and meet-ups, and support other developers. Developer Champions also inspire the next generation of Adobe users to learn scripting and coding, and automate tasks to create delightful experiences for creatives worldwide.
Becoming Champions
Champions may be nominated by Adobe, nominated by the community, or nominate themselves. All Developer Champions automatically become Community Experts; if you’re not already an Expert, you’ll be onboarded to the Expert program. Once in the program, Champions take on challenges in the Developer Corner, and start (or continue) creating developer-specific tools, articles, and social posts.
