Hi there, I'm Chris 👋 the Intrepid-Developer

Welcome to my GitHub! I'm a full-stack developer with over 15 years of experience working in the Microsoft ecosystem, specialising in .NET, Blazor, Azure, PowerShell, and Bicep.

I'm currently a Lead Developer at Mobilityways, where we're building tools to help reduce carbon emissions through smarter commuting. I’m passionate about clean code, scalable architecture, and developer productivity, especially with tools like .NET Aspire and Infrastructure as Code.

✨ What I'm Working On

The Shepherd Trilogy — my book series. Book 1, The Shepherd Alignment, is out. Books 2 and 3 are in progress, one stubborn chapter at a time
Maldric — a free desktop app for authors, with optional £2.99 cloud sync. AI helps you move faster; the words stay yours. I'm writing Books 2 and 3 in it, so I tend to find the bugs first
Intrepid Developer — my blog on AI, Maldric, writing, and learning to build with bots and agents in the AI era. No coding tutorials, just what I tried and what I noticed
Intrepid Developer on YouTube — the channel I kept saying was “coming soon” is finally live. Father. Coder. Author. Me trying to fit all three into one life while finding my way into the AI era. Early days, so be kind 🙂
Also made, now quietly maintaining: Code Paw and MathsPaw, two free kids' apps (the main avatar is a cat), and Pollen Cloak, which is resting until hay fever season comes round again
Public Aspire hosting for Railway — aspire-hosting-railway / IntrepidDeveloper.Aspire.Hosting.Railway
Sharing real-world insights from my career and side projects
Balancing tech life with being a proud dad of two awesome boys 👨‍👦‍👦
