The most expected email arrived on 5th July! Once again, I’m delighted to share that Microsoft renewed my Microsoft Azure MVP award. I feel deeply humbled to receive this recognition for the 12th year in a row.
Thank you, Microsoft, for this outstanding award and for allowing me to continue this fantastic journey in the MVP Program. My path began in 2011 as a BizTalk MVP, and it has been an incredible experience ever since. The program has given me the chance to travel the world, speak at events, share knowledge, and meet some of the most impressive and skilled people in our industry. I’m grateful that it still gives me those opportunities today.
📝 One-Minute Brief
A heartfelt announcement celebrating your renewal as a Microsoft Azure MVP for 2022–2023. You reflect on 12 consecutive years in the MVP program, the journey from BizTalk MVP to Azure MVP, the community engagements around the world, and gratitude toward Microsoft, colleagues, readers, the Portuguese MVP community, and your family for their continuous support.
This longevity in the program has made me the “Godfather” of the Portuguese MVPs, alongside my dear friend Rodrigo Pinto (but I am a few months older :)).
Jokes aside, I want to give a big thank-you to Cristina González Herrero for all the fantastic work she does in managing the program in my region. I’m also grateful to Microsoft Portugal and Microsoft for empowering us to support the technical communities. My coworkers and team at DevScope, my blog readers, friends, the Microsoft Enterprise Integration Community, and—above all—my beautiful family: thank you for your support over the years.
Being part of this program is an honor. I’m proud to belong to such a remarkable worldwide group of technicians and community leaders who actively share high‑quality, real-world expertise with users and with Microsoft. I’m excited and ready for another great year ahead!
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.
