Microsoft® MVP (Most Valuable Professional) in XNA/DirectX for Year 2013-2014.


Few weeks ago I got an email from Microsoft saying that I have been Re-awarded Microsoft XNA/DirectX MVP title for Year 2013.

It was really memorable moment for me. And proud to be a Microsoft MVP for this year.

There are now total 32 MVPs for XNA/DirectX.
