Provide a short summary of why you should be selected by the community as a Digital Experience MVP
I have contributed to the Digital Experience space for more than 15 years. My main focus over the last few years has been on Sitecore. This year I contributed to Sitecore, AI, headless visual editor, and Figma areas. I made a lot of presentations and wrote many articles. I created the only fully featured community SDK for Sitecore: Astro. I started working on the universal visual builder for headless CMSs and shared my progress in posts. I created Figma plugins that gathered 200k users in 2024. My plugins help to do routine digital marketing tasks!
Contributions you have made in the Digital Experience (DX) community online and in-person (i.e., blog posts, podcasts, webinars, encouraged others to join)?
I have contributed to the Digital Experience space for more than 15 years. My main focus over the last few years has been on Sitecore. I was recognized as Sitecore MVP for 6 years in a row. I made a lot of Sitecore community contributions in the last year. I added new features to Sitecore JSS Astro SDK, supported, and promoted it. Not only Astro, but I also promoted freedom of choice, showing that you can select any web framework with Sitecore that you want. I made a lot of presentations, online and offline. I want to mark one: I presented at the Sitecore Symposium, which is the main Sitecore event. I wrote multiple articles to share the Sitecore knowledge. This year, I made a lot in other, non-Sitecore areas. I wrote about AI usage, when it is helpful, and when it is harmful. And that is not just words. I showed an example, of how you can force AI to work better if you prepare a proper dataset for training it, even if your knowledge area is not so broad. The result is the custom chat GPT that performs better in his area of knowledge. I started to work on universal editing experience for different headless CMS. Headless CMSs solve vendor lock issues, but once you want advanced editing abilities, you get the vendor lock again. I described a few concepts, on how to avoid it. And I started to work on implementation. There is still a lot of work in this area for me. And, even if I do not succeed in the end, concepts described and shown, could be taken for implementation by the next generation of visual builders for headless CMSs. Last, but not least: I created Figma plugins that gathered 200k users in 2024. It is more about design but is an adjacent DX area. And my plugins help to do routine digital marketing tasks!

What encouraging words would you like to share with those new to the community and perhaps new in their career?
Contributions are the help to others. But the big part of contributions is the help to yourself. Each post helps you to crystallize the thought. Each answer helps you to remember the problem. Each webinar, video, or public speaking helps you to think more broadly. All of these help you to become the better version of yourself. And find the people with whom you would like to work.
List other URLs to showcase your work, such as GitHub, StackOverflow, StackExchange, Twitter, and others that are relevant.
