Hey guys!
Today is a very special and happy day for me, because I was watching a series on NetFlix and when I pick up my cell phone, I see this email:

It is a great satisfaction and honor to receive an award as cool and important as this, and with this, I join a team of excellent data professionals from around the world who, like me, have a true passion for sharing knowledge. It really plays like a movie in our heads, remembering important moments, victories and defeats throughout our professional journey. My motivation is certainly 100% renewed and I intend to do even more for the technical community.

I believe that we should share the knowledge we acquire in our daily lives, as it is thanks to the community, blogs, forums and in-person lectures, that we find solutions for our daily lives and are able to come up with new ideas to “think outside the box”, learn about new technologies and evolve professionally.

What is Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVP)?

For those unfamiliar with the Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals, or MVPs, program, it recognizes community leaders who have demonstrated exemplary commitment to helping others get the most out of their experience with Microsoft technologies. They share their exceptional passion, real-world knowledge, and technical expertise with the community and with Microsoft.

These contributions can be through:
– Submitting source codes for projects
– Personally speaking (lectures and events)
– Helping others on forums, (and why not Telegram/Whatsapp groups)
– Creating content (articles, blog posts)
– Providing feedback for Microsoft products

Personally, I feel more comfortable creating content and helping others in groups, but I can also speak at some events. I know MVPs who dedicate themselves exclusively to creating content (and are very good at it), others who dedicate themselves to lectures and in-person events, visiting various states and even countries sharing what they know, so there is no defined way to be recognized, each professional must do what they like and, if it is God's will, they will be recognized sooner or later.

It is important to emphasize that the MVP does not have to be the objective of a professional but rather a consequence of work done with dedication, passion, commitment and aiming to share knowledge and exchange experiences.

Good guys,
I hope I was able to demonstrate a little of what the MVP award is.

I'm really happy and excited about this recognition and you can expect more events and more posts to come!
Thank you very much to each one of you who visits my blog, I hope I am able to help you in solving everyday problems and also in your professional growth.

Anything, just talk. We're there!
