Chris Pietschmann Honored with 2023 Microsoft MVP Award in the Microsoft Azure expertise category
Jul 1, 2023 • Chris Pietschmann • Awards • CommunityI am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded the Microsoft MVP Award for 2023! I am honored to receive this community recognition award from Microsoft for my passion of sharing with the tech community over the last year.
This marks the 12th time I’ve received the Microsoft MVP award since 2008. As with the last few years, this year I am being awarded in the Microsoft Azure expertise category. My primary medium of community contributions is through my blog at (Build5Nines.com)[https://Build5Nines.com] where I dedicate a ton of time writing about Microsoft Azure, HashiCorp Terraform, and other related technologies.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years. Here’s to another year of sharing, learning, teaching, and collaboration!
As always, I am humbled and honored to be included in this amazing group of Microsoft MVPs!
