    I am System Administratorwith over a decadeof experience in administration and engineering. I have worked across various industries including government, non-profit, and Fortune 500 companies.I started out as a general system administrator primarily working with Microsoft technologies like Windows Server, Active Directory, System Center Configuration Manager,and SQL as well as VMware and mobile device management. I got started with programming and scripting working with VBScript and moved to PowerShell later.

    I had been looking around at different opportunities to build content and give back to the IT community as so many others have done for me. I saw ajob posting online looking for PowerShell instructorsat Cybrary. I enjoy working with and building scripts and modules with PowerShell and was ready to pass on any knowledge I have to others just now learning. I applied and started working with the team to learn more about how the operate and to complete an audition video. Once completed, they instead asked if I would be interested in putting together an entire course covering the AZ-300 exam. Eight hours of content! I decided to go for it and the team has been great in providing feedback and working with meto build this great course for its students.
