Awarded as Microsoft Integration MVP 2015

What a great personal and professional start of 2015. Once again I’m delighted to share that I was renewed, for the 5th straight year, as Microsoft Integration MVP (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional).

Microsoft Integration MVP 2015

I would like to thank to all my blog readers, friends, members of BizTalk Community, to my fellow Microsoft Integration MVP’s: Michael Stephenson, Jon Fancey, Ben Cline, Mick Badran, Mikael Håkansson, Johan Hedberg, Bill Chesnut, Richard Seroter, Stephen W. Thomas, Kent Weare, Leonid Ganeline, Glenn Colpaert, Salvatore Pellitteri, Sam Vanhoutte, Tomasso Groenendijk and of course all Portuguese MVP’s.

Also a big thanks to the MVP Team in especially to my MVP Lead Cristina Herrero and Alessandro Teglia, BizTalk Product Team and Azure Teams like: Mandi Ohlinger, Guru Venkataraman, Mark Maltimore, Paolo Salvatori, Dan Rosanova and many more; Microsoft Portugal: Miguel Vicente, Paulo Mena, Luís Calado and all other Microsoft employees;

And finally to my family for their support, to the BizTalkCrew (and also Microsoft MVP’s): Nino Crudele, Tord Glad Nordahl, Saravana Kumar, and Steef-Jan Wiggers and finally to all my coworkers at DevScope for all the support during this last years.

I never get tired to wake up after a long night of New Year’s Eve, and check the email and see:

“Dear Sandro Pereira,

Congratulations! We are pleased to present you with the 2015 Microsoft® MVP Award! This award is given to exceptional technical community leaders who actively share their high quality, real world expertise with others. We appreciate your outstanding contributions in Microsoft Integration technical communities during the past year.”

It is an amazing feeling and I hope to all who aspire to become MVP’s, will succeed one day. It’s a big honor to be in the program.

Now in my native language (Portuguese):
