Tushar_Parekar — Tue, 12 May 2026 09:57:09 GMT

Some Bricksters bring their expertise into the forums, help customers win, and make the community a richer place for everyone. We call them Community Fellows, and we couldn't be prouder of them.

April by the Numbers

The Fellows showed up, answered the hard questions, held the SLA, and quietly did the kind of work that keeps a program like this running at its best.

April Leaderboard

This isn't just a forum leaderboard – it's a full picture of contribution.
Every answer given, every bug reported, every piece of content published, every cross-platform share counts.

Meet the Fellows who stood out across all of it in April.

@AbhaySingh

Bug Bash: Two Weeks, One Mission 🔧

In April, we ran a two-week Bug Bash on the brand-new version of the Fellows Hub (a centralized Databricks app that powers how Fellows find questions, track their impact, and earn rewards). Fellows dove in – exploring features, breaking things on purpose, surfacing issues, and sharing raw honest feedback to help sharpen the experience for everyone.

This wasn't glamorous work. It was the kind of work that makes everything else possible.

The result? A sharper hub, a stronger foundation, and a program more ready than ever for what comes next.

A special shoutout to the Fellows who went all-in on the Bug Bash:

🥇 @Ashwin_DSA
🥈 @emma_s
🥉 @Louis_Frolio
#4 @stbjelcevic
#5 @MoJaMa
#6 @AbhaySingh

Your attention to detail and commitment to making this better for the whole community, that's the Fellows spirit.

Thank You Fellows

To every Fellow who showed up in April – in the forums, in the Bug Bash, in the content you created and the knowledge you shared, THANK YOU.
This program is what it is because of you.

Interested in Becoming a Fellow?

Behind every great community is a group of people who care enough to give their best — not because they have to, but because they know it matters. That's what being a Fellow is about.

If that's the kind of contributor you are, here's what you'll be a part of:

Drive Real Change – directly shape the customer experience and feed real insights back to Product teams
Be Seen for It – get recognized by leadership as a top-tier technical contributor who moves the needle
Sharpen Your Edge – grow your expertise by tackling the most complex, real-world Databricks challenges out there

We're looking for Bricksters who show up, go deep, and make the community better for everyone. If that's you, drop a message to the Community Team and let's make it happen.
