Technical Approach
Twenty years building production systems in .NET and C# gave me something more durable than any single framework: the fundamentals — architecture, data modeling, distributed systems, security, and performance — that carry across every stack.
What’s changed is how I apply them. With agentic AI tools like Claude Code, I’m no longer bound to the stack I happen to know best. I choose the one best suited to the problem and ship production-grade code in it — picking on merit, not familiarity. Recent work spans .NET, Node, Blazor WebAssembly, Python, and TypeScript; relational and document databases; self-hosted Linux and managed cloud.
The real differentiator today isn’t which stack you’ve memorized — it’s judgment: framing the problem, choosing the right tools, designing the architecture, and directing an AI agent to implement it correctly and fast. I work as the architect and reviewer while the agent handles the boilerplate. That leverage is what lets me run a dozen-plus production side projects single-handedly.
