Happy New Year!
For me this is a great start of the year as I’ve just received an e-mail from Microsoft, announcing me that I’ve been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional award in the Microsoft Azure category!
With this occasion, I would like to thank my good friends and colleagues, Tudor Damian and Mihai Tataran for supporting me to achieve this goal.
Great start of a year, hope the next one comes with the same awesome news ?
With that being said, happy new year again, and as always have a great one!
