Steve Weiner

When the news of becoming a dad of twins turned me from professional drummer to professional computer nerd, I started work as a presales MDM engineer. Then, Windows 10 came along with incredible Surface devices and a new way to manage them. Since that time in early 2016, I have become obsessed with using Intune and eventually, Autopilot, to craft a true "Zero Touch" experience for end-user devices. I have made it my mission to displace traditional management methods where I can and empower organizations to embrace a cloud native endpoint that is more resilient and secure in this hybrid reality.

In 2023, I took my blog site, getrubix.com to more than articles when I started a YouTube channel dedicated to teaching modern management concepts around Intune, Autopilot and Entra ID. In just six months it reached over 1000 subscribers and I proudly host a Discord server of 300 members and growing. I'm thrilled to be part of the amazing Microsoft community of MVPs.

Microsoft MVPs

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are recognized experts in their respective technical communities who actively share their knowledge and expertise with others. The MVP award is given to individuals who have made significant contributions to the Microsoft community through their involvement in technical forums, user groups, conferences, and other events. As a result, many MVPs are sought after as speakers at industry events, sharing their knowledge and insights with others.

When an MVP adds their award to their speaker profile, it can serve as a powerful endorsement of their expertise and credibility. Event organizers and attendees alike recognize the MVP award as a symbol of excellence in the field of Microsoft technology, and are more likely to view MVP speakers as authorities on the subject matter they are presenting. This can help MVPs secure speaking engagements, as well as increase their visibility and recognition within the community.

In addition to the benefits for the MVPs themselves, including the ability to network with other experts and gain exposure for their work, the community as a whole can benefit from the contributions of MVP speakers. By sharing their knowledge and insights with others, MVPs help to elevate the level of expertise and understanding within the Microsoft community, ultimately leading to better products and services for everyone.
