Who are some users that write really awesome PowerShell code?

I've been writing PowerShell code for almost 10 years now, and I love it when I come across someone who uses interesting techniques and patterns that I haven't seen before.

Do any of you have a list of users in the community from which you've taken inspiration in your own code? Who are they? I'd like to follow them :-)

Przemyslaw Klys (Evotec) does some great work.
- Nice, thank you! Just what I was looking for. This guy has an incredible GitHub page.
Kelvin Tegelaar aka Cyberdrain has some amazing scripts that I have made use of

James Brundage's code never fails to impress me. He writes a lot of code that helps you write better PowerShell. Which in turn has a bunch of slick techniques I've never seen elsewhere. https://github.com/StartAutomating

I love how James documents his code. He tells a story with his comments:

        #region Create Color Scheme Object
        $newScheme =
            if ($iTermThemeExists)
            {
                # If the theme exists, let them customize it.
                foreach ($k in $PSBoundParameters.Keys) {
                                                    # Any supplied parameter
                    if ($k -ne 'Name' -and          # except name
                        $iTermThemeExists.$k        # that exists in the theme
                    ) {
                        $iTermThemeExists.$k =      # will be overwritten
                            $PSBoundParameters[$k]  # with the supplied parameter.
                    }
                }
                $iTermThemeExists
