I'm incredibly proud to share that I’ve been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for the fourth consecutive year! 🎉

Each time I receive this recognition, it feels just as special as the first. Being part of the global MVP community is more than just a title — it’s an opportunity to contribute, connect, and collaborate with like-minded professionals who are passionate about sharing knowledge and making a difference in the tech world.

This year, like previous years, I’ve continued to focus on:

• - Writing technical articles and how-tos on my blog
• - Engaging with the IT and cybersecurity community
• - Sharing insights from my day-to-day work in real-world environments
• - Supporting others through mentorship, advice, and sometimes just a good conversation

As someone who balances roles in infrastructure, cybersecurity, consulting, and education, the MVP award is a reminder that community matters. Technology is always evolving, but it's the people around it — those who teach, share, and support others — who really drive innovation forward.

I'm extremely grateful to Microsoft for continuing to support and recognize community contributions like mine, and I’m thankful to everyone who reads, follows, or engages with my content — whether you're a fellow techie, a client, or someone just curious to learn something new.

Here’s to another year of learning, building, and giving back. Thank you for being part of the journey.
