I Am a Microsoft MVP… Again! (2025–2026)
The beginning of July is always a meaningful time for Microsoft MVPs around the world. It’s the day we anticipate with both excitement and gratitude — when inboxes light up with one simple yet powerful message: You have been re-awarded.
A few hours ago, I received that message. I’m incredibly happy and honored to share that I’ve been named a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for the 2025–2026 award year — my 7th consecutive year as part of this amazing global community.
Why This Award Matters
The MVP award is not just a title. It’s a recognition from Microsoft for ongoing contributions to the technical community — speaking at events, writing, mentoring, contributing to open source, answering questions, and helping others grow.
When I received this award for the first time, I wrote something that still defines my mindset today:
“With or without this award, I would do the same — share knowledge with the community whenever I can.”
And I still stand by those words 100%. Being an MVP is a privilege, but it’s never been the goal. The real joy is in the journey — in every talk delivered, question answered, line of code written, and new connection made.
Highlights from the Past Year
Over the last 12 months, I’ve had the chance to speak at many incredible events, sharing insights about .NET, Azure, and modern software development practices. Some of the highlights include:
- MS Community BiH Meetups
- NTK Conference
- Advanced Technology Days
- MS Community BiH Conference
- NetWork Conference
- Sinergija 24
- European Cloud Summit
- KulenDayz
Every event has its own story. Every session is a moment to connect, to inspire, and to learn from others. These are the moments that fuel me to keep going.
Looking Ahead
They say it’s not about the destination — it’s about the journey. And my journey in this community is far from over.
As long as I have the time, energy, and support, I’ll continue giving back: creating content, mentoring others, speaking at conferences, and contributing to the tools and technologies I love.
And yes, I’ll keep adding those little discs to the MVP trophy glass — one year at a time.
A Heartfelt Thank You ❤️
None of this would be possible without the people around me.
To my wife ❤️, my parents, and my brother — thank you for your unconditional support.
To my colleagues and friends in the community — thank you for pushing me forward, for cheering me on, and for walking this path with me.
... and above all, I thank God for this opportunity and for the strength to keep doing what I love.
