I followed quite a traditional path from being a developer and an architect, to becoming a principal architect, then CTO, and then taking on my current roles with ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½.

That&#8217;s how I learned. So, when I became a little more senior and experienced, I wanted to give back that knowledge to the community as well, to help others develop their own skills. I began publishing articles on my personal website, and also answering questions on tech forums.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was through her blog and commenting on forums that she got the opportunity to become a Microsoft Azure Most Valuable Person (MVP) \u2013 an award for people who share knowledge within the tech community. And while drumming in a band is no longer part of her working life, becoming an MVP soon brought bigger audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you get that MVP award, it opens doors to a huge global network and possibilities to collaborate with others. I started public speaking and then realized there were opportunities to write books. I had wanted to complete Microsoft\u2019s Azure architecture certification to help with my job, so I decided to write a book about that. That was my first book.
