I'm John Smith, a Microsoft-certified C# and .NET developer in the UK. I was previously head of infrastructure and operations, and a lot of how I think about software still comes from that blend of code, delivery, hosting and production support.
My day-to-day stack is ASP.NET Core, C#, .NET, MySQL, SQL Server, Docker and Git. I like simple, durable web technology and reach for vanilla JavaScript before adding a framework.
I build small .NET global tools: command-line utilities that do one useful thing, install cleanly and ship through normal .NET tooling.
AI is now a major part of how I work, for code exploration, refactoring, debugging, test ideas and documentation.
I write about all of it at https://solrevdev.com.
