About Coder B

I’m Brad — a senior .NET developer and rapid prototyper. Over the last 30 years, I’ve built everything from C# microservices to full SaaS platforms. These days, I specialize in turning startup ideas into working MVPs — fast.

In my full-time job, I’ve helped teams integrate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with external systems by writing custom AL code and web services. When that project paused, I shifted to modernizing legacy C# codebases — mostly ancient CRON jobs held together with duct tape and hope. We’re now introducing NuGet-based code reuse and unified logging via Serilog to bring sanity back to our internal tooling.

I love what I can do with .NET — clean, scalable, and powerful. But I’m the first to admit: I’m no designer. Blazor is amazing, but good UI templates are hard to find and harder to integrate. That’s what led me to start integrating design tools like Lovable.dev into my workflow. I now use them to generate clean frontends and wire them to my .NET backends — massively boosting my output.

While this site wasn’t the first project I built that way, it’s one of the cleanest — and it shows how fast you can move when you stop wrestling with design.

A Few Fun Facts

• 🧠 I was once selected to write a book on SQL Express (back when it was MSDE). Outline done, life happened. Great learning moment.
• 💻 First machines: TRS-80 Color Computer, Apple IIe, Commodore 64, Sinclair 1000. Now rocking an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X + RTX 3060Ti.
• 🧳 I’ve driven in every U.S. state except Hawaii. Been through most of Canada. Spent months in China and Thailand. More travel ahead.
• 🎮 Current games: Dyson Sphere Program, Farm Sim 2025, American Truck Simulator, Transport Fever 2, Beat Saber.
• 🧪 I love self-hosting, automation, Linux tinkering, and hacking together tools that actually work.

TL;DR

I’m a backend-heavy dev who loves prototyping, hates wasted time, and enjoys getting things working fast — then handing them off. If you’ve got an idea you want to test, a platform you want to build on, or a bunch of duct‑taped C# code you want to modernize, I’m probably your guy.
