#MVPbuzzChat with Poornima Nayar

For Episode 117 of the #MVPbuzzChat interview series, I spoke with Developer Technologies MVP Poornima Nayar (@PoornimaNayar), an independent .Net Developer, two-time Umbraco MVP (an open source CMS platform), and active speaker and community member based in Slough, England. Poornima is passionate about learning new technologies and keeping herself up-to-date with the latest developments in technology. Outside her work, Poornima enjoys music and is undergoing training in Indian Classical music.

In this episode, Poornima and I discuss her involvement in the community and how it helped her achieve her Microsoft MVP, the impact of the pandemic on her local community, and how she learned (continues to learn) how to balance work, community, and family while fighting off FOMO (fear of missing out). We even talked about our kids and helping them find their own paths forward (even if they decide to not follow our footsteps into technology).

If you would like to follow Poornima or reach out and connect with her, you can find her on Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub, on her company website, or through her blog at https://poornimanayar.co.uk/blog/
