Yesterday, I received my first Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) award for my contributions to the Visual Studio ALM community. I’m really happy and honored that I got this recognition. I enjoy working with the ALM community and I’m looking forward to what the future will bring. I promise to keep sharing everything I know and what I learn at customers! I hope my blog posts are useful and if you think there is anything I can improve or if you would like to see some particular topics on this blog, please just let me know!
The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award is our way of saying thank you to exceptional, independent community leaders who share their passion, technical expertise, and real-world knowledge of Microsoft products with others. It is part of Microsoft’s commitment to supporting and enriching technical communities. Even before the rises of the Internet and social media, people have come together to willingly offer their ideas and best practices in technical communities.
At Microsoft, we recognize the vital role these individuals play in the adoption and advancement of technology—and in helping our customers do great things with our products. This was the inspiration for the Microsoft MVP Award. Nearly two decades ago, we awarded 37 technical community leaders as MVPs.
Today, there are more than 4,000 MVPs worldwide. They represent more than 90 countries, speak over 40 languages, answer more than 10 million questions a year, and are awarded in almost 90 Microsoft technologies—reflecting the breadth of our products and our global communities.
