In late 2015, I started working on Sitecore, and in 2016, I joined the Sitecore community. Since then, I have been part of both. Over the years, I have met a lot of great colleagues, worked in three different countries, and had the chance to work on a few interesting projects.
Through the Sitecore community, I was able to present at conferences and user group meetups, publish blog posts, record a lot of Sitecore training videos (I am mostly recognized as a YouTube guy), and organize meetups and conferences along the way. I was also awarded the Sitecore MVP title six times (2018–2023) for my community contributions.
Looking back, all of this gives me immense satisfaction and a chance to meet a lot of great community members who have become friends over the years.
Due to personal circumstances, I have not been able to spend enough time on any community contributions, and I have come to a point where I need some time off from the contributions and active involvement in the community.
Just to clarify, there’s nothing against the Sitecore community; it’s one of the most wonderful communities out there.
Going forward, day-to-day work-wise, I will still be working on the Sitecore platform, but in the community, I will be more of a passive participant and also not apply for the MVP title anymore.
In the future, if my situation changes, I will be happy to be back as an active participant and contributor.
Goodbye until next time.
Good luck with your endeavors. Your contribution to the community is invaluablw and led many things by example. Thanks gor inspiring.
