What is a Media Developer Expert (MDE)?

[Announcing Cloudinary’s Media Developer Experts Program](https://cloudinary.com/blog/announcing_cloudinary_s_media_developer_experts_program?utm_source=codingcatdev)

How did you get started as an MDE (or select potential MDE - mainly for Maya :))?

Producing content and tutorials take a long time, why are you passionate about it?

What areas do you focus on the most concerning Cloudinary?

What are the inspiration and motivation for you to start contributing to the community despite your busy schedule? (like organizing a meetup, contributing to open source, etc)

How do you get local community involvement?
