I never posted about it since I got it right before leaving for MVP Summit, but I wanted to shout out @pulumi.com and thank them for sending me some awesome Puluminary swag.

Good timing, too, since I even ended up wearing the shirt at Summit!

Nice way to start off the year - @sessionize.com's top 3% active speakers in 2024!

Being this active was a bigger change for me in 2024, but I've enjoyed speaking and seeing different places and people (especially outside the US). Looking forward to 2025! #mvpbuzz #dotnet

A huge thank you to @jetbrains.com for awarding me with JetBrains Community Contributor for my .NET content and community involvement. I love the swag, too! Working with the people at JetBrains has always been a delight for me and I look forward to creating more with them in future.
