2018 review of MsftPlayground

1 minute read

One of the things I like to do is sharing knowledge with the Community. I started my website in 2008 and last year I noticed that I have been blogging for 10 years. My first post was from 27-03-2008 and I still love writing articles.

In 2018 I became a member of the AIMS Performance Pro team because of me knowledge on Azure and other related topics. The AIMS performance Pro team (#aimsperformancepro) is a program for ambitious and outspoken technical professionals who have interests in the intersection of IT integration, monitoring, analytics, performance tuning and troubleshooting.

In 2018 I investigated a lot of community options to be able to participate more in the community. Besides my Azure DevOps extensions (https://msftplayground.com/extensions/) I'm also investigating the possibility to start a meetup group to get the community together in 2019.
