Julius Angwenyi wins Sitecore Most Valuable Professional award
Elite distinction awarded for commitment and dedication to the Sitecore community
London, United Kingdom — February 09, 2024 — 360Agileweb.dev, today announced that Julius Angwenyi has been named a Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in the MVP 2024 Technology by Sitecore®, a global leader in end-to-end digital experience management software. Julius was one of only 147 Technology MVPs worldwide to be named a Sitecore MVP this year.
Now in its 18th year, the MVP program recognizes professionals who actively share their knowledge and expertise with online and offline Sitecore communities to help them best utilize Sitecore products to deliver premier customer experiences.
Selected from more than 16,000 certified developers and over 30,000 active community participants, the 247 MVPs are truly an elite group. This year’s MVPs were selected by a panel of Sitecore employees – ranging from developers to members of the executive team – for the quality, quantity and impact of the contributions they made in 2023. This includes the sharing of product expertise and advanced knowledge of the Sitecore platform to support partners and customers.
“For the eighteenth year running, we’re pleased to be honoring experts who have distinguished themselves through their technical acumen and commitment to helping others build great digital experiences,” said Dave O’Flanagan, Sitecore chief product officer. “The MVPs are invaluable to the global Sitecore community, and they continue to impress us with their unique contributions.”

Zero down time deployments for both XM and XP scaled scenarios
This is the title for my session
It may seem that zero down time deployments should be common practice today, but there are clients out there still struggling with this issue. In fact, you will be surprised there are people still having “code or content freeze” during deployments. This session will be a nice wake up call to anyone out there still struggling with deployments or having “code” or “content” freezes – which should be a thing of the past. Hope to share a reference architecture to help with this.
See you then!
