I am a Microsoft MVP Developer Technologies, .NET innovator and hands-on architect, Microsoft Orleans specialist, and Xamarin cross-platform mobile veteran. My passion is to improve the development experience for C# developers.

Mission

I am on a personal mission 😎 to give C# developers an enjoyable, powerful UI development experience similar to Flutter and SwiftUI - no more separate, limited markup languages with subpar tooling; instead use the power of C# and enjoy using the first-class C# development tools to build UI in declarative C#.

History

🚀I created C# Markup 1️⃣ for Xamarin Forms and contributed that - first as part of Xamarin Forms 4.6, later as part of the Xamarin Community Toolkit, which was then ported to the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit.

Present

🎉Since then, I have been working on C# Markup 2️⃣, which supports the main .NET UI frameworks and uses code generation to implement features in C# that are part of languages like Dart, that are designed to build declarative UI.

Together with C# hot reload, C# Markup 2 is targeted to truly compete with Flutter when it comes to the developer experience💪.

This mission has taken a lot of my personal time and money - at one point I spent 6 months full time unpaid on this. Your sponsorship will motivate me to continue working on this, supporting more UI frameworks and providing additional tools and services.

🙂Thanks for your support - it means a lot to me to know people value my work!
