I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been renewed as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for the year 2024–2025, in two technology areas that are incredibly close to my heart and my work:
- Microsoft Azure Application PaaS
- Microsoft Azure Integration PaaS
This is my 15th straight year in the MVP Program. It’s a milestone that fills me with gratitude, pride, and an even stronger commitment to contributing to the community that has given me so much over the years.
Why This Recognition Matters
Being awarded as an MVP is more than a badge — it’s a recognition of the time spent:
- Speaking at community events and meetups
- Contributing to open-source projects
- Publishing blog posts, tutorials, and guides
- Helping others online and offline
- Collaborating with developers and architects across industries
The Azure landscape continues to evolve rapidly, and I’ve been fortunate to be at the forefront of real-world transformations — helping clients design, build, and optimize scalable and secure cloud solutions with Logic Apps, API Management, Azure Functions, App Services, and other Azure PaaS capabilities.
It’s a great honor for me to be part of the program and to be associated with this fantastic worldwide group of technicians and community leaders who actively share their high-quality, real-world expertise with other users and Microsoft. I’m looking forward to another great year! This program gave me the opportunity, and still does, to travel the world for speaking engagements, share knowledge, and meet the most amazing and skilled people in our industry.
Thank You, Community
This wouldn’t be possible without the amazing community of developers, architects, students, and professionals who read, question, challenge, and collaborate every day. Your engagement is the true driving force behind every article written, every question answered, and every session delivered.
A big thank you to Microsoft for this recognition, and to everyone who has supported my work — from colleagues and clients to fellow MVPs and, of course, my fantastic team!
What’s Next?
The Azure ecosystem continues to grow, and so will I. Over the next year, you can expect:
- More in-depth articles on Enterprise Integration
- New sessions and workshops at local and global events
- Contributions to GitHub and the community blog space
- Continued collaboration with clients on real-world Azure solutions
If you have questions, would like to collaborate, or simply want to say hello, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or drop me a message.
Here’s to another year of learning, building, and sharing!
