Martin Lingstuyl

Although I haven’t always worked in IT, I have always been interested in technology and coding. Around 2014 I moved to the Microsoft 365 space and have been very inspired by the things I get to do since. I am a Microsoft MVP in the Microsoft 365 Development category. I’m also a Microsoft 365 architect at I4-YOU Business Solutions b.v., where I like to take on a broad scope on subjects relating to Microsoft 365 and Azure. You could find me talking to customers and designing solutions, writing PnP scripts, working with Azure Resources, doing some public speaking, creating some SharePoint Framework Solutions or doing regular backend work with .NET. It all has my interest.

At home you might find me giving the necessary attention to my two lovely kids. If any time is left over I’ll probably be reading a good book, doing some biking or some such. I also like to share my learnings using blogs and contribute back to the community in all kinds of ways. Because sharing is caring!

Weslley Araújo

Weslley Araújo

Entre produção musical e programação, decidi ir de cabeça no desenvolvimento e, em 2013, iniciei minha carreira na área como freelancer, em 2018 me encontrei como autônomo e em 2021 iniciei como empresário, apesar de sempre colocar "desenvolvedor" nos formulários de profissão.

Em 2021 criei minha primeira aplicação open-source e dois anos depois, fui convidado para ser membro de um projeto chave no eco-sistema do Node.js, o MySQL2, onde futuramente, também passei a integrar projetos do MySQLJS.

Minha maior conquista foi receber meu primeiro dólar no GitHub Sponsors (não é sobre valor, sabe?). Pequenos detalhes às vezes fazem grandes diferenças 🤝

Atualmente, entre diversos projetos que mantenho e co-mantenho, o Poku, um test runner inovador de verdade que vai na contramão de praticamente 12 anos de história, é o projeto que tem minha maior atenção e carinho.

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.
