My 2019

My 2019 – See you in 2020

Posted in Blog, Cloud, Cloud Advocate, Microsoft, Thomas Maurer

This is my last blog in 2019. I just came back from my last trip this year to Amsterdam, and I am happy to spend a couple of relaxing days with my friends and girlfriend at home before we start in 2020. 2019 was a fantastic, intense, and challenging year, with a lot of learnings and a lot of good things happening. Since I have joined Microsoft in February 2019, I had the opportunity to face new challenges and work with great people around the world.

I want to take the time to thank all my friends, colleagues, supporters, blog readers, and followers for everything. People who read, like, comment, and share my blogs and tweets. People who listen to my talks and videos. People with who I had the chance to have great conversations. People who tell me what I can do better. You all give me the motivation and energy to keep on doing this.

2019 Year

I had the chance to travel around the world, engage with the community, learn, make new friends, and being love. For that, I am happy and thankful and that the hard work pays off.

2019 was full of highlights, like the Windows Insider MVP award, joining Microsoft, my first presentations working for Microsoft, traveling, speaking at community conferences and events, Microsoft Ignite 2019, new devices, and many more. It is hard to name them all, so I just named a few.

I am looking forward to 2020 and starting a new decade full of new challenges and experiences and start traveling to different cities around the world.

Happy New Year! 🥂🎉🥳 And keep learning Azure!

– Thomas
