Thomas Lee

Thomas Lee is a consultant/trainer/writer from England and has been in the IT business since the late 1960's. After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University, Thomas joined ComShare where he was a systems programmer building the Commander II time-sharing operating system, a forerunner of today's Cloud computing paradigm. He moved to Comshare UK in 1975 and later went to work for ICL, again developing operating systems and what today would be called DevOps. After a sabbatical in 1980/81 to see Mt Everest, he joined Arthur Andersen Management Consultants (now known as Accenture). He left in 1988 to run his own consulting and training business, which is still active today. Thomas has held numerous Microsoft certifications, including MCSE - he was one the first in the world, MCT (23 years), and was awarded Microsoft's MVP award 17 times. He is also a Fellow of the British Computer Society. He has written extensively for the UK trade press, including PC Pro. Today, Thomas mainly writes and talks on PowerShell with a bit of Azure thrown in. Having travelled the world, he entered semi-retirement in 2016 and spends most days in his cottage in the English countryside, along with his wife, Susan, and their daughter, Rebecca. He continues to teach now and then when the opportunity arises, and loves to give back to the community
