About Kory Thacher

I love solving problems—whether it\'s troubleshooting a tough technical issue or designing automation that helps people work more efficiently. My expertise is in scripting and automation, with deep knowledge of cloud computing, and workflow optimization.For over a decade, I’ve developed and taught PowerShell workshops with hands-on labs, helping teams build real-world automation skills. Teaching and technical writing have been a key part of my journey, allowing me to guide others in understanding complex systems while improving collaboration and efficiency. Recognizing and empowering others is important to me, and I approach development with a mindset of making things simpler, clearer, and more effective.I also explore AI-driven development with tools like OpenAI apps and GitHub Copilot, integrating them to enhance efficiency and streamline solutions. Whether automating workflows or improving processes, I focus on practical, scalable, and impactful results.
