    When you say 'DevOps', you can't get away from cloud computing. The cloud model natively adheres to many DevOps philosophies. Microsoft has built a cloud in Azure that rivals the biggest player in the cloud game (AWS). But many new to the DevOps way of culture, thinking and tooling don't even know where to start. If this sounds familiar, this book is for you.

  • Environment Orchestration (PowerShell)

    This was a large project I was brought onto provide my PowerShell expertise in as a freelancer. For this project, I worked closely with team members in a CI environment to provision and configure virtual machines for testing.

    This project consisted of 40,000+ lines of PowerShell spread across dozens of modules. This project's goal was to provide a self-service portal to developers to quickly bring up various application stack test environments. During this time, I developed the first…

    This was a large project I was brought onto provide my PowerShell expertise in as a freelancer. For this project, I worked closely with team members in a CI environment to provision and configure virtual machines for testing.

    This project consisted of 40,000+ lines of PowerShell spread across dozens of modules. This project's goal was to provide a self-service portal to developers to quickly bring up various application stack test environments. During this time, I developed the first Pester tests, implemented support for deploying VMs into a restricted DMZ environment, built support for deploying VMs into Microsoft Azure and many other misc tasks.

  • Github Repos

    I've created numerous Github repositories for various projects throughout my PowerShell work.

Honors & Awards

  • Microsoft Cloud and Datacenter MVP

    Microsoft

    The MVP award is given to "exceptional, independent community leaders who share their passion, technical expertise, and real-world knowledge of Microsoft products with others.

  • Powershell Hero (2015)

    Powershell.org

    PowerShell Heroes is our way of recognizing the people who are making significant contributions to the PowerShell community, but who haven’t received any other formal recognition (such as Microsoft’s MVP Award). In many cases, these are the rising stars we hope to see receive an MVP someday, but in all cases they’re out there, working hard to make a difference. They were nominated by their peers, and selected by the 2014 PowerShell Hero honorees.
