Dear All,

Very happy to share the news that I have been awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional award for my contributions to SQL Server Community in 2016!!!. This is an honor I have dreamt of for long needless to say that the award motivates me to contribute more for the SQL Server Community.

In case if you don't know what MVP award is all about, you may read about it here and here

No big achievement is possible without a team. This one is no different. My family, Singapore Microsoft Data Platform Team, MVPs who nominated me, Microsoft DX Team, my friends at Singapore SQL Server User Group, colleagues at work and several experts from whom I have learnt the tricks of the trade..it is a long list of people who have helped me get here!!! I have just collected the award on behalf of everyone :)
