I finally got some photos (should have made a selfie now that I think about it) so I can share this with all of you.
In Vegas at the #ChampionsSummit2025 something magical happened as I’ve been recognized as… <insert dramatic drumroll sound – be honest – you’ve heard a drumroll, haven’t you? :P>
!! TOP TECHNICAL CHAMPION EMEA !!
Still processing 
Still Superduperhappy
Wasn’t able to share this earlier as I had to leave my private devices at home (see reasons on my blog).
Over the past years, I’ve had the chance to contribute to our wonderful Juniper community, help fellow engineers and customers build and troubleshoot awesome networks and dive deep into the wonderful world of JunOS – okay, that almost sounds like a good entry page for a book but seriously: I’ve learned just as much from the questions as from the answers – and there’s still so much more to learn (and still 2E’s to conquer) 
Massive thanks to the awesome Team at Axians Germany – without a strong Team and a good Leadership such moments wouldn’t be possible! Thanks to joachim meurer and Karl-Heinz Lutz for their continuous support throughout the years and all their help! A huge shoutout to the incredible Juniper Community, the brilliant engineers and customers who work with me daily, and all of you who engage, question, share packet captures at 2am in the Lab, and keep the spirit of tech alive. And of course Miguel Romera-Molina – you’ve introduced me to this wonderful ecosystem of engineers back then and I’m so grateful for that 
If this recognition stands for anything: Sharing knowledge matters!
Here’s to more learning and more sharing!
