Top SchoolJeffrey Snover is a veteran technology fellow and systems architect with a career spanning large-scale systems, cloud, and automation dating back to the 1980s. Best known as the inventor and architect of Windows PowerShell, he has driven management, automation, and SRE practice at Microsoft and Google, and shaped Azure, Windows Server, and M365 AI roadmaps as a Technical Fellow and CTO.
