Awarded as a Microsoft® Most Valuable Professional (MVP), BizTalk for 2012

The year 2012 has had a fantastic start! I’m very proud to announce that I have been re-awarded as a Microsoft® Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in the BizTalk category for the second consecutive year.

Being part of the MVP program is a significant honor, and it motivates me to continue sharing knowledge and contributing to the integration community.

I would like to thank the MVP Team, my MVP Lead Cristina Herrero, JP Clementi, Ed Hickey, Dan Jones, Miguel Vicente, all other Microsoft employees, community members, and other people involved in awarding me as a BizTalk MVP.

Also, to all my blog readers, friends, members of BizTalk Community, and to my fellow MVPs. Special thanks to Ruth Resende, Saravana Kumar, Steef-Jan Wiggers, and all Portuguese MVPs.

Finally, to my family for giving up some of their time and for their support during these years, and to all my coworkers at DevScope for all the support, in particular, a big thank you to Jose Antonio Silva, Rui Paupério, and Rui Barbosa for believing in me.

It’s a big honor to be in the program.

Now in my native language (Portuguese):

O ano de 2012 teve um início excelente para mim! É com muito prazer que anuncio que fui nomeado pelo segundo ano consecutivo Microsoft ® Most Valuable Professional (MVP), BizTalk!

Gostaria de agradecer a todas as pessoas da Microsoft pela nomeação como um MVP de BizTalk, aos leitores do meu blog , amigos e todos os membros da comunidade e aos meus colegas de trabalho da DevScope por todo o suporte. Em especial, um grande obrigado à minha MVP Lead Cristina Herrero, JP Clementi e Miguel Vicente por todo o suporte dado ao longo deste meu primeiro ano no programa e ao José António Silva, Rui Paupério e Rui Barbosa por acreditarem em mim. Por fim e não menos importante, agradecer à minha família por abdicarem de algum do seu tempo e por todo o apoio dado durante estes anos.

Espero continuar a contribuir para a comunidade BizTalk e a merecer o reconhecimento.

Hope you find this helpful! If you liked the content or found it useful and would like to support me in writing more, consider buying (or helping to buy) a Star Wars Lego set for my son.
