I specialize in C# and .NET with an emphasis on data integration and manufacturing software. Most of my work is the layer between enterprise databases and the people who rely on them: desktop apps, Windows services, ingestion pipelines, and the automation that replaces a manual step. I have shipped products from design through deployment, and I write about what I learn along the way.
