+Microsoft was kind enough to [feature me in a Microsoft Learn Contributor Story](https://aka.ms/contributor-stories/sean-killeen)!
+
+This came about because Microsoft employee Randolph West nominated me. They appreciated the work I had done on finding some typos in the SQL Server documentation.
+
+I think this is a great example of how even little things[^1] can make an impact, and how contributing to OSS isn't just code.
+
+It went down like this:
+
+* Randolph asked if anyone has noticed any typos in the SQL server documentation.
+* I realized that the docs are OSS, so I could create a fork and run `cSpell` on them. So I did that.
+* I found 54 inconsistencies affecting 31 articles, and was able to pass them on.
+
+This made the impact that Randolph was looking for, and they were happy enough with that impact to nominate me, which came as a very pleasant surprise.
+
+Don't forget that small contributions can still make an impact, and that OSS isn't just code.
