heya, i'm kate! I'm a full-time swe/sre, mostly maintaining legacy applications that also happen to be critical infra. In my spare time I spend most of it working on my many side projects, tinkering with my homelab, listening to music, or spending time with my partner.

Stuff I do at work:
- Maintaining legacy codebases (VB6, .NET Framework, ASP.NET Web Forms, WCF Services, Ext.JS 3.x/4.x, etc...)
- Implementing CI/CD for legacy codebases (Azure Pipelines for ASP.NET WebForms and VB6)
- Contributing to the development & support of multiple enterprise-grade .NET Web Applications with tens of thousands of active users.
- Maintaining multiple monitoring applications and notification services. All written in C# (integration with Prometheus and PRTG), including a desktop app using Avalonia.
- SQL Server Database Administration, management, monitoring, and auditing.
- Development of many internal tools written in C# and PowerShell 5/7
- Desktop Apps are mostly written with; Eto.Forms, Avalonia, and WinForms for some of my earlier work (incl creation & maintenance of custom control library).
- This also includes creating and developing custom control libraries for all the mentioned application frameworks.
- This also includes my own custom ORM and query builder library for use with Dapper, one of the fastest ORMs for C#.
- Desktop Apps are mostly written with; Eto.Forms, Avalonia, and WinForms for some of my earlier work (incl creation & maintenance of custom control library).
Stuff I like doing outside of work:
- Lots of stuff for Open Fortress (incl Get Psyched Games)

- System Administration for all of our infrastructure, including real-time monitoring with ZABBIX and Telegraf+InfluxDB+Grafana.
- Kasta - An Open-Source Media Sharing Platform. Development is 100% fueled by frustration with other media sharing platforms.

You can find me on various platforms, which can all be found on my homepage.
If you care about my contribution graph, it's misleading for how much programming I do outside of work. A lot of the current projects I work on aren't on publicly facing forges, and are either on my employers (private) git instance, the Open Fortress GitLab, or my own self-hosted Gitea instance.
