Today I received the very exciting news that I received my first “Microsoft MVP Award”! I’m now one of the (eight?) MVPs in Belgium for Azure! Off-course I’m very happy on receiving this award for my merits in terms of Azure in the last year. This is an additional incentive to keep giving back to the community!
For those who are unaware of the Microsoft MVP Awards, here is a small description ;
Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals, or MVPs, are technology experts who passionately share their knowledge with the community. They are always on the “bleeding edge” and have an unstoppable urge to get their hands on new, exciting technologies. They have very deep knowledge of Microsoft products and services, while also being able to bring together diverse platforms, products and solutions, to solve real world problems. MVPs are driven by their passion, community spirit and their quest for knowledge. Above all and in addition to their amazing technical abilities, MVPs are always willing to help others – that’s what sets them apart.
