I’m delighted to share that last month Microsoft presented me with the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) 2021-2022 award in recognition of my exceptional technical community leadership and outstanding contributions in the Office Apps & Services technical communities during the past year! Thank you Microsoft!

Few of the areas I enjoy is organising & running M365UK online events every month and a speaker at various community events (local & international) and I’m thankful to organisers, speakers & volunteers for their efforts in making things happen especially during the pandemic times and letting me speak at following events. You can find my slides & recordings online!

I am also thankful and understanding of my family support and the freedom & flexibility from my employer Patel Consulting for letting me share and be part of the technical communities. Without their support I would not be here! I look forward to sharing more content and hope to see you somewhere in-person and online events!

In the next few months you can catch me at following in-person events!
