I’m a technical educator and community builder. I’m a Microsoft PowerShell MVP, podcast host, speaker, and Community Director of PowerShell Summit. I also work at PDQ alongside sysadmins and IT pros every day.

Community isn’t just what I do. It’s where I get my energy. I genuinely light up when I see someone land a new job, level up a skill, or show up to their first conference. I love sharing that passion with others.

Every week I host a live podcast and stream on YouTube covering PowerShell, automation, and the humans behind the keyboards.

If you’re on your IT journey and need someone in your corner, you’re in the right place. Find more at andrewpla.tech/links.
