In April 2006 I have received the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award in the Visual C++ category that consequently granted me membership to the MVP program, a membership shared with 4000 people from about 100 countries, experts in one or more Microsoft products or technologies. An MVP is not a Microsoft employee and does not represent Microsoft in any way. I have been awarded for contribution to online communities focused on Microsoft products, especially the one at codeguru.com where I’m a moderator and reviewer and codexpert.ro which I co-founded in 2007. The membership to the program not only came with some particular benefits, but also allowed me to meet great people from Romania and around the world, who share the same passions and interests with me. My MVP membership is under the Romanian lead.
You can read more about the MVP program and award at the MVP official home page. My MVP profile is available here.
The events I have attended through the MVP program are:
- Romanian MVP Opens Days, September 2006
- Microsoft MVP Global Summit, March 2007
- Romanian Community Bootcamp, September 2007
- Microsoft MVP Global Summit, April 2008
- Microsoft MVP Global Summit, March 2009
- Romanian Bootcamp, October 2009
