The Mendix community continues to grow at a rapid pace. With low-code on the rise and demand for solutions growing fast, the Mendix Platform provides the speed, ease, and capabilities developers need to deliver. With an influx of new makers, the demand for high quality content and support rises, too. That’s why we’re excited to announce the addition of nine new Most Valuable Professionals!
MVPs go above and beyond to share their expertise with the community by answering Forum questions, organizing events, publishing Marketplace content, and much more to help other Makers take full advantage of the platform and build innovative solutions for customers. We recognize their experience, contributions, and expertise by awarding them the status of MVP.
We partner with the MVPs to amplify their efforts to serve the Maker community and pave the way for a new generation of app developers to build the solutions of tomorrow.
