Provide a short summary of why you should be selected by the community as a Digital Experience MVP
I believe I should be selected as a Digital Experience MVP due to my dedication to delivering innovative, user-centric digital solutions. As the leader of SUGHYD, I foster collaboration through meetups and speaking engagements. I've contributed insightful blogs, ranked in the top 10 on Sitecore Stack Exchange, and been recognized as a Content Management and Web Development Top Voice on LinkedIn, with nearly 24,000 followers and 350,000+ impressions this year. Additionally, I pioneered Sitecore Certification Practice Exams, which received 1,300+ responses. My commitment to mentoring and community contributions makes me a strong candidate for this recognition.
Contributions you have made in the Digital Experience (DX) community online and in-person (i.e., blog posts, podcasts, webinars, encouraged others to join)?
