Mike Pfeiffer is a Lead Technical Instructor at StormWind Studios. He possess expertise in powershell, microsoft technologies, microsoft exchange, active directory, cloud computing and 46 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Mike is amazing. We worked together Mike at Interface Technical Training when he was an instructor there and his mastery of highly complex technologies and his ability to transfer that knowledge to others is mind boggling. We became friends working together and he is always a huge pleasure to be around and we really did laugh quite a bit even on some very complex problems. A truly great person on every level. I’m very lucky to have worked with Mike.", "Mike worked for my team on a new initiative to build fully functional references of enterprise applications on AWS. The initiative was loaded with ambiguity at the time. We were still learning about the best practices for structuring these applications so they were cost effective, but also highly available and secure. Mike exceeded expectations on all aspects of this initiative. He was creative, innovative and passionate about how he approached the work and he consistently delivered results. This new initiative is now mature and has helped thousands of AWS partners and customers use enterprise application stacks successfully on AWS.", and "Those who can't...Teach".. Well, Mike Pfeiffer is one guy that defies this and is a role model of millions of Manojs’ worldwide. One of the top Cloud Evangelists, an awesome Technical Trainer, a former Ecosystem Solutions Architect, a successful Premier Field Engineer and a member of a rare breed that can speak Azure and AWS in the same breadth :) Very few people get the opportunity to read books that help them in their careers and then get mentored by the author of those books. I am one such person. I learnt the fundamentals of Microsoft Technologies through Mike's books and then as he started developing online courses, got hooked on to those whether it was to certify as an AWS DevOps Professional or to learn more about Windows Server Containers. The breadth of technologies Mike can teach is truly amazing. Having worked with top tier organizations like Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and now Pluralsight and his published content reflects the industry experience he has gained. Whilst with Microsoft, I was reading his books to ramp up on Microsoft Technologies (still see the Exchange PowerShell cookbook in my library as I am writing this....), when I joined Amazon Web Services as a pure Microsoft Techie, I was elated to see AWS Whitepapers on PowerShell DSC, Microsoft Workloads and Automation with CloudFormation by guess who, yups, Mr. Mike Pfeiffer. Now, that I am back with Microsoft, I was able to quickly master Developer Services on Azure thanks to Mike. When you have Mike in your team, you effectively hire three people, an amazing techie, a seasoned professional and of course a technical evangelist. One of the biggest qualities of Mike (I usually call him Sir out of pure respect), is that he is so approachable and humble. Whether one needs help on authoring video courses or wants to make a career changing decision, Mike has always responded to emails and chipped in with his valuable advice that has made a lot of positive impact in my career. Taking a complex topic and breaking it into easy to understand nuggets is a skill Mike can do in his sleep. I always tell my colleagues that if I could be half as good as Mike in my career, then I will achieve Nirvana. I keep learning from him everyday and his words of encouragement is my reservoir of inspiration. Thank you for being a great person and a humble human you are and continue "edutaining" us with your courses. Mike certainly makes us "smarter and richer than yesterday" :)"
