Guest Bio and links:

I've been working in IT for around 10 years now with experience in a range of roles. Currently, I'm a programmer working on Ansible for RedHat, specializing in Windows automation. While my job is mostly working with Python I play around with PowerShell and C# mostly in my spare time and have written quite a few PowerShell modules. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my wife and dog as well as go on some bike rides around where I live. I currently specialize in network protocols like WinRM, SMB, PSRemoting, LDAP, among others, and I have written a few cross-platform clients that implement these protocols outside of Windows. I'm also quite active in the Discord community and love to help/lurk the various questions that come up there. There's always something new that I learn.
