Hello!

I'm a .NET dinosaur. And I'm done being one.

Senior .NET and Azure backend developer, also former Tech Lead. Years of enterprise systems, clean architecture, corporate backend at scale. It's a solid career. It's also, if I'm being honest - started to feel like the same hallway walked in circles.

So I'm changing direction. Slowly and deliberately.
Not because .NET is bad or I don't like it anymore. But the work got repetitive, the market got crowded, and somewhere along the way the technology stopped feeling like a frontier.
My new space is blockchain. The execution model is different. The trust model is different. The economics are different. And unlike most of my .NET career - the output is visible, verifiable, and lives on a public ledger forever.
So I'm learning Solidity from scratch. Publicly.

The series "A .NET Dinosaur in Web3" will contain real code, real mistakes, real "naive" thoughts, .NET analogies where they help - and honest notes on what it actually takes to make this switch.

I started writing on another platform - and will gradually move my "historic" articles here.

Stage: Dinosaur 🦕 - mapping the terrain.
