Not just good. Good enough.

I’ve created this blog as a way to help share some of my discoveries. I’m a believer in Learning in Public and nothing I write is “The Way” but rather “A Way”.

I work as a (Señor) Systems Engineer at Meta, spreading the love of PowerShell at scale. A fan of Role Playing Games (RPG), you can check out my RPG-oriented modules on the PowerShell Gallery.
