Back to original languageAbout James
For over 24 years, I have been assisting companies in the design and development of software using the Microsoft .NET ecosystem and the C# language. Still driven by the same passion, I wish to continue to invest myself in ambitious projects as an Architect, Lead Developer, Designer, or Developer.
Over the years, I have participated in the creation of software based on varied and sometimes complex architectures. This experience allows me to work across the entire .NET ecosystem, whether it's ASP.NET Core, Blazor, MAUI, WPF, Entity Framework Core, Web API, gRPC, SignalR, or other technologies on the platform.
I also assist teams in integrating artificial intelligence into .NET applications. I work particularly with technologies such as Microsoft Agent Framework, Microsoft Foundry Local, MCP servers, RAG, and the use of language models.
Based on my experiences, I believe that sustainable software rests on four essential pillars: performance, robustness, maintainability, and scalability. I pay particular attention to design quality by implementing recognized practices such as Clean Architecture, Clean Code, SOLID principles, and Design Patterns.
I also enjoy sharing my knowledge with the teams I support. In parallel with my professional activity, I voluntarily publish technical articles in several LinkedIn newsletters: .NET architecture and design, .NET and C# development, Entity Framework development, artificial intelligence in .NET applications. Over 150 articles published.
Sharing, transmitting, and continuously learning are an integral part of how I practice this profession. I am convinced that the success of a project relies as much on technical quality as on collaboration and team skill development.
