Lead Software Engineer and Full Stack .NET Developer

What I'm Working On

Hi, I am Chris, a full-stack developer and the creator of <Intrepid-Developer/>.

Recently, I have been focused on building and modernizing software in the .NET ecosystem, with a strong emphasis on Blazor, Azure, and PowerShell. In my current role as a Lead Software Engineer at Mobilityways, I work on the Liftshare platform and help drive technical improvements that support more sustainable commuting.

A big part of my recent work has been improving development workflows and cloud architecture, including better infrastructure practices and more reliable local environments for teams.

Why This Site Exists

This site is where I share practical lessons from real projects, write about the tools I use, and document what works (and what does not). My goal is to build a useful resource for developers who want clear, experience-based guidance.

How I Want The Blog To Help

I want the blog to give back to the developer community by turning day-to-day engineering experience into content that saves people time, helps them avoid common pitfalls, and gives them confidence to keep building. Whether you are early in your journey or already experienced, I hope what I publish helps you make progress.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope something here sparks an idea, teaches you something new, or just reminds you that you're not alone on this journey.

Let's build something useful together.
