I help .NET developers around the world build better software
I am a Solutions Architect, a Microsoft MVP, and an AWS Community Builder. I have been building software for over 10 years, mostly with .NET, AWS, and Terraform, and these days I use Claude Code in almost all of my day-to-day work.
I started this blog back in 2015 to write down what I was learning while building .NET applications at work. The official docs explain the features really well, but a lot of what I needed, like design decisions and the trade-offs between approaches, I had to figure out on the job. So I write about those things too, and everything on this site is free to read.

How I build with AI
My daily coding stackAI tools are now a normal part of how I write code
I use Claude Code and OpenAI Codex every day, for planning features, refactoring, and the repetitive parts of writing code. Here is how each of them fits into my work.
Primary agent
Claude Code
By Anthropic
This is where most of my work happens. I use it to plan features, work through large refactors, and review code. It can read through the whole repository before it makes a change, which helps a lot on bigger .NET solutions.
- Architecture
- Refactors
- Code review
Quick tasks
OpenAI Codex
By OpenAI
I use Codex for quicker tasks, like boilerplate, small prototypes, and trying out a different approach to something before I commit to it.
- Prototyping
- Boilerplate
Beyond the code
Where else I show up-
Technical writing
Detailed tutorials on .NET, ASP.NET Core, AWS, and Claude Code. Every article comes with complete source code, and I try to write the kind of guides I wish I had when I was starting out.
Since 2015 -
YouTube
Video walkthroughs where I build things step by step and explain the decisions I make along the way.

Open source
Free and open-source projects like FullStackHero, a .NET starter kit for SaaS applications, and the .NET Claude Kit for Claude Code.
