I help .NET developers around the world ship better software.
Microsoft MVP and Solutions Architect with 10+ years building enterprise-grade systems on .NET, AWS, Terraform, and Next.js. I ship 10× faster with AI in the loop - Claude Code and OpenAI Codex live in my daily workflow.
I started this blog in 2015 to share what I wished I'd had when I was learning. Free tutorials, deep-dives, and field notes - the architecture decisions and trade-offs that aren't in any official tutorial.

02 · How I build with AI
My daily coding stack
AI hasn't replaced my skills. It amplified them.
Primary agent
Claude Code
Anthropic · Opus 4.7
Where the heavy lifting happens. Architectural decisions, large refactors, production-grade code that I'd actually ship. Claude reads the whole repo before answering - that's the difference.
- Architecture
- Refactors
- Code review
IDE inline
OpenAI Codex
GPT-5 · in-editor
Fast loops. Boilerplate, prototypes, exploratory rewrites. The thing I lean on when I want three answers and a decision.
- Prototyping
- Boilerplate
AI won't replace developers - but developers who use AI will replace those who don't.
03 · Beyond the code
Where else I show up
-
Technical writing
Long-form tutorials and field notes. Production code, not toy examples. The stuff I wish I had when I started.
Since 2015 -
YouTube
Hands-on builds where you watch the whole thing - architecture decisions, mistakes, the fix. AI in the loop.
