I am so excited and happy to be chosen to receive the Microsoft Data Platform MVP award. This is my first time obtaining this award and the news comes via an email in the late evening on the 1st July, it is a great honor to be given this award. I am so happy to be able to join the MVP family and continue to make my effort to share and learn from everyone.

I would like to make a special thanks for Paul Randal, who was my mentor last year, who asked me to connect more to the community via blog and forum. Also thanks to my family and friends who supported me along the way.

You might ask, who are Microsoft MVP? Below comes directly from Microsoft MVP website:
“Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals, or MVPs, are community leaders who’ve demonstrated an 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.”

As a new member to the group and first time obtaining this award, I look forward to continue contribute to the community and hope I am making a difference.

Thank you Microsoft!
