I design systems, build .NET software and help teams make technical decisions. I stay involved in implementation as well as architecture.
I consider how a system will change, which teams own it and what it will cost to operate.
Assess where services or modules belong by looking at ownership, dependencies and how often parts of the system change together.
Define message contracts, consistency requirements and how workflows handle retries, delays and failures.
A design the team can explain, maintain and change.
I build APIs, services and integrations, and work through the performance and support issues that appear in production.
Write and review C# code, define API contracts and investigate performance problems.
Plan deployment, monitoring and recovery alongside the code, so the team can release and support it.
Software the team can deploy, monitor and support.
I help engineers understand the reasons behind decisions and give them the context to make their own.
Explain design decisions, review code and agree conventions the team can use day to day.
Help engineers develop through mentoring, code reviews and better tools, including reviewed use of coding agents.
Share the knowledge needed to make and maintain technical decisions.
I have spent the past three years learning how to work with AI agents in software development, from structuring tasks and providing context to building tools that help them work with code.
Give agents a defined task, the relevant context and a way to check their work. Review changes in small steps and use test results and other evidence to guide the next step.
Set boundaries around what an agent can change and when it needs approval. Keep changes reviewable, protect secrets and check the result before merging or releasing.
I built Roslyn Workbench MCP to give coding agents access to C# symbols, references, analysis and refactorings. It lets me inspect proposed changes before applying them and roll back edits when needed.
I remain responsible for the design, the code and the decision to release it.
C# and .NET are where I have the most experience. I choose other languages when they better fit the requirements.
