Contrats to @mrdenny, @jdanton, @Mmarie, @SQLEspresso, and @sqlrus for being awarded Microsoft #MVP awards in #dataplatform (as well as Denny's award for Microsoft #Azure as well).

And congrats to all the other #MVPBuzz award winners.

Today was Microsoft's #MVP Award day. Not only was I awarded the Microsoft MVP Award for Data Platform, but I was also awarded for Microsoft #Azure as well.

I'm incredibly honored to be given the award in two different categories.

Super-excited to report that I've been awarded #Microsoft #DataPlatform #MVP for 2023/4 🎉. Working in this community with so many skilled, committed colleagues is a privilege I'm abundantly grateful for, and this is the icing on that large, delicious cake 😊🎂 #MVPBuzz

Ooops, we did it again😃

Honored and privileged to be recognized as a #Microsoft Data Platform MVP for another year!

So proud to be part of this amazing community!

I wrote a post about #dataproducts and why they need a #dataplatform to manage updates over time:
https://www.estuary.dev/data-products-usability/
IDK about y'all, but I've always felt that the bits about data products were the best parts of #datamesh, or at least the most broadly applicable. Any size organization can benefit from treating their data as product, even if the rest of datamesh isn't relevant to you.

@sqlchick That was very helpful feedback, thank you! 😊 I'm just a tiny little fish in this big ol' #PowerBI pond, and I've been sharing your content with my friends and colleagues ever since I started working with the #DataPlatform, so I'm incredibly flattered that you found some of my content worth sharing as well. Thanks again so much for helping me spread awareness and enthusiasm for the #DataDojo #CommunityOfPractice concept. 🤗

Today, it's time for gratitude and celebrating small wins🏆🏆🏆

On this day, 2 years ago, I became a #Microsoft #Dataplatform #MVP! I'll always be grateful to Nicky van Vroenhoven, 📊 Kathrin Borchert, and Wolfgang Strasser for nominating me for this prestigious award, but also to all the others who supported me on this journey. THANK YOU!

Some small (and not so small) wins to celebrate:

holiday and see you all soon with more fresh and entertaining content😉!
