Well looks like this is going to be a big list of things 

- Knowledge and the MVP Dinner (Kudos and always grateful to the community team who drives all these programs and initiativesto support us at every stage) 

- Speaking at Knowledge again, this time my session was the first one on day 1 right after the keynote. That sent chills down my body. But it felt right after delivering it. 

- My first hackathon experience! Kudos to Atul Grover who pushed the boundaries to make sure I join and it was a splendid experience. 

- A big shout out to the rising stars and MVPs for sharing incredibly good content helping us learn new areas.

This year, while I'm proud of creating so many pieces of content online and growing the Hackathon and Hacktoberfest even more than previous years, what truly stood out were the incredible moments of connection like

• Solving Advent of Code puzzles with Nick on the SNPDG Discord,
• Watching Astrid, Shakeel, Laszlo, and Sandeep soar past me on the Hacktoberfest leaderboard
• Building more silly stuff into the bots with a bunch of people on the sndevs slack
• Receiving a custom trading card from Kevin at Knowledge 2024
• Getting to chat with so many people at Knowledge and the World Forums in London and Paris and learn about their career journeys
• Randomly getting stopped by someone on a Paris escalator that my work has impacted their career.

These moments remind me that building community is not just meaningful, it’s everything!

Perfect timing for this thread! I was just reflecting on all the amazing things that happened this year in my career, and I feel so incredibly grateful and lucky for everything!

1. I had the chance to attend a photoshoot at the ServiceNow NYC offices and meet so many amazing people from the ecosystem--MVPs, Rising Stars, NextGen, and of course, incredible ServiceNow employees who treated us like royalty. 
2. Being a part of the RiseUp group at Knowledge25 was such an incredible experience, and hanging out at the RiseUp area with so many inspiring MVPs, RiseUp, and NextGen participants was a total highlight!
3. And then, there was the jaw-dropping moment of seeing a huge banner with my face at Knowledge25! Wow, talk about a career milestone! Humbling and amazing! 
4. I was also lucky enough to participate in a couple of panels at Knowledge25. Thank you to everyone who gave me the opportunity to share my story and give back to this amazing community! 
5. But above all, I’m most grateful for the friendships I’ve built this year, all thanks to ServiceNow and this incredible community. 

What an unforgettable year! 😊

Thank you to the ServiceNow Community for your support in 2024! As we reflect on this year's achievements, we look forward to even greater collaboration and innovation in 2025.

2024 showed that the ServiceNow community grows stronger when we learn and build together.

From custom application development to complex implementations, this year proved that our greatest achievements come through collaboration:

• Recognized as ServiceNow MVP 2024

• Transitioned to Sr. Technical Consultant role at Alpar

• Delivered expertise in Customer Service Management implementations

• Created educational content reaching thousands in the ServiceNow community

• Hacktoberfest contributor & maintainer

Four posts that resonated most with our community:

"Creating Custom Applications from Scratch"

Breaking down complex development into accessible learning

"Do you believe that creating a custom application from scratch using ServiceNow is difficult?"

"Reflections on Team Impact - Living in Europe"

Success through collective effort

"With the complex challenges we faced, I learned that sometimes the only way is to win as a team."

"The Hacktoberfest experience"

Much of modern tech infrastructure relies on open-source projects built and maintained by passionate people who often don’t have the staff or budgets to do much more than keep the project alive. Here I shared thoughts about the experience to volunteer both as a contributor and as a maintainer

"Hacktoberfest"

"Expertise in Customer Service Management Implementation"
Contributing to the Anheuser-Busch InBev operational efficiency improvement, expanding digital transformation to European locations
"Operational efficiency"

2025 will focus on expanding technical consulting impact while continuing to support our ServiceNow community.
