About
Building in public. Documenting the journey. Sharing what I learn along the way.
I'm a Full Stack .NET Developer with 12+ years of experience building enterprise applications in the automotive manufacturing sector. Based in Canada, I specialize in modernizing legacy systems, cloud infrastructure, and solving complex technical challenges that keep production lines running 24/7.
This site serves as a hub for my personal projects, technical writing, and tools I've built over the years. I believe in continuous learning, building reliable systems that solve real problems, and sharing knowledge with the developer community.

The Journey
What drives my work
I'm passionate about building reliable, scalable systems that solve real business problems. Working in manufacturing has taught me the importance of uptime, performance, and systems that people can depend on. I value continuous learning and staying current with emerging technologies while maintaining a pragmatic approach to software development.
Beyond coding, I enjoy mentoring developers, improving team practices, and sharing knowledge with the community. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn something new and deliver meaningful value to users and stakeholders.
What I'm working on
Currently focused on modernizing enterprise applications, cloud infrastructure on Azure, and implementing comprehensive monitoring with Elastic APM and Serilog. I'm also building this personal hub to consolidate my projects and technical writing—featuring a custom Blazor component library and minimalist design system.
Side projects include an open-source Discord bot framework with a Blazor admin dashboard, exploring LLM-assisted development workflows, and experimenting with new .NET features as they're released. Always learning, always building.
