Sitecore®, the global leader in digital experience management software, recently announced the 2019 group of Sitecore Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) and, for the 4th consecutive year, I’ve been recognized as an MVP in the Technology category. The Sitecore MVP award is an elite distinction given for exceptional contributions to the Sitecore community and I’m honored to be one of only 186 Technology MVPs worldwide this year—not to mention the only person from Sri Lanka to be named a Sitecore MVP in 2019.
Now it its 13th year, Sitecore’s MVP program recognized a total of 315 exceptional professionals from the Sitecore community of more than 12,000 certified developers and more than 20,000 active community participants. Sitecore MVPs are awarded for the quality, quantity, and level of impact of the contributions they make by sharing their product expertise and mastery of the Sitecore platform with other Sitecore partners and customers.
As a Sitecore Freelance Consultant with more than 9 years of Sitecore development experience and overall 11 years in the software industry, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sharing my expertise of Sitecore products, including on this blog and through the Sitecore User Group Sri Lanka (SUGSL – http://www.meetup.com/
