I just received my first Microsoft MVP Award!

Almost exactly 10 years ago I started my career in the field of Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence using the Microsoft Data Platform. Every since I have been active in the community, sharing my experiences and engaged with other people in various forums.
I have to admit that most of the things that I know today I originally learned from my strong interaction with the community and by solving (or trying to solve) problems of other community members that I came across when browsing e.g. the MSDN forums. This exchange is always a win-win situation for both sides as you grow with every challenge you master and that’s what the community is all about – having someone to discuss your issues with and solve them together!

Therefore I am very proud that I got awarded with the Microsoft MVP Award for my work in the community which includes blogging, answering forum questions, speaking at conferences and supporting local Microsoft events – or, to say it in a more general way, my engagement in the community!

Thanks to everyone who I ever worked with, letting me learn on their problems, inspiring me to start my blog and keep being active in the community over the last years! Thank You!
