Take the 2022 Rewind Challenge! 🥇‌

Greetings, Community! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Despite being a year of “coming back to normal”, its intensity was a major crescendo with lots of fun stuff going on!

Professionally, I got 3 major achievements:

  • I became a Dynatrace :dynatrace: Certified Professional
  • I was April’s Community Member of the Month :spiral_calendar:
  • I became a DynaMight :dynamight:

What a year! Sure hope 2023 will be even better, not necessarily with so many different personal achievements, but rather with lots of new great stuff that Dynatrace is building for us! :dynaspin:

Outside work, and with pandemic-preventing measures fading out, my year finally returned to its usual, socially-intense, culturally-diverse, filled with lots of great events agenda! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Being a volunteer at a cultural non-profit, the biggest feeling of accomplishment comes with finishing up an event (sometimes, for several thousand people) and realising that attendees enjoyed their time, and had fun with something you closely help to create!!

This frame was of our “Palmela White Party”, from August: a “few” thousand people, 6 hours of party, right there in our home town! Talk about seeing your Community happy :heart_eyes:

Also, with Covid gone, people could not only be together, celebrate together… but also play music together!

Again, the feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself is truly great!

In the picture below, a group of musicians from our Phillarmonic Society (myself included, of course!) played as a Marching Band in our annual tradition, after two years of Covid-induced cancellation…

The first grapes of the year were stomped (yes, with those top guys’ feet :slightly_smiling_face: ) while we (and other groups) played!

Again: 2022, you’ve been great and all, but… let’s get ready for 2023! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :tada:

What a year 2022 was!

At last we were back hosting face to face meetings, round tables and showing in conventions. The highlight for us as dynatrace RFO in Israel was hosting Dynatrace day Israel with over then 250 attendees, together with Mediro guys our co RFO from South Africa and our dynatrace guardian.  Dynatrace Day Israel it was a blast!

From the recreation side of life as Covid-19 start to fadeaway my spouse and I  took for our self 6 week of absence and went to Vietnam and Cambodia to clear our minds and get ready for new challenges to come. After riding local motorcycles in different parts of those countries I decided that is the right time in life to go back to my old love and back at home I bought a motorcycle for my self to feel again the engine roaring and the road flying 15cm under my feet at 120 km/h.

Here are a few souvenirs from this last vacation

See you all around here next year and please stay safe

All the best

2022 was full of new experiences. I marked my 1st year with Dynatrace and also finished my 1st account as ACE consultant. With the end of this year, I’m transitioning to D1.

With family added  a new  member cat, Cherry. Had some awesome vacation in UP, South Carolina & Hawaii.

With the last day of 2022 I’m celebrating my first half a year of being a Dynatracer :dynaspin: and a proud member of the Dynatrace Community team  :flexed_biceps:

On the personal side of things, lots of stuff to be excited about as well: two concerts, fours trips (big and small), lots of creativity and opportunities to learn more about myself and the world around me.

Still waiting for the highlight of the year, though, the first reunion with my family since the war broke :broken_heart:
