As you all know, Sitecore MVP 2019 list was out at the end of January 2019 (you may want to have a look at the press release). Personally, I’m extremely happy to be awarded the Sitecore Technology MVP 2019 title (two years in a row).

• Thanks Sitecore for the award!
• Thanks all my colleagues for supporting! They have been behind me since day one!
• Thanks the Sitecore community for being so helpful!

A special thanks to:

• Tamas Varga and his Sitecore MVP Program team + the involved ones
• Chee Chiu – my boss –  who keeps giving new Sitecore opportunities to me so that I have gained more Sitecore knowledge + experience + lessons-learnt 🙂
• Kim Cu –  a passionate Sitecore developer – who did not want to leave me lonely in the MVP list from Vietnam 😀

Motivations

There are not many developers in Vietnam who have had a chance to work with Sitecore technology. That’s why Sitecore knowledge looks non-existent in Vietnam. Personally, I wanted to share my Sitecore knowledge and Sitecore shared source projects with them in order to build up a strong Sitecore community in Vietnam if possible. It’s a long road to go for me so the likes, the good comments, the positive feedback(s), the shout outs, the mentions, etc are very helpful indeed 🙂
