Backend-focused engineer working in .NET APIs, systems architecture, and AI-augmented development workflows.
I use AI often — but in service of disciplined engineering, not in place of it. My focus is software that stays clear, maintainable, and dependable after the first demo, after the happy path, and after requirements start changing.
I care about sound architecture, clean boundaries, thoughtful specifications, and code that survives real-world pressure. After three years away caring for a family member, I'm back with sharper fundamentals and a stronger sense of what's worth building.
Interests: developer tooling · backend system design · API architecture · spec-driven development · AI workflows grounded in engineering judgment
amodelandme is exactly what it sounds like: a builder, a model, and a serious respect for the craft.
Azure-native. .NET-first. AI-assisted feature flag management.
🔗 github.com/amodelandme/Banderas
For .NET teams on Azure that want a serious feature flag platform — without LaunchDarkly's pricing or the rough edges of lighter tools.
Stack .NET 10 · ASP.NET Core · Azure (Key Vault · App Insights · Container Apps)
AI Azure OpenAI · natural-language flag health analysis · stale flag detection
SDK Production-ready .NET SDK ships alongside the service
Model Open core · MIT licensed · self-hostable
Goal: clone the repo, run docker compose up, get a working flag service with .NET SDK and AI analysis in under 15 minutes.
Design-first. .NET-native. AI-assisted engineering workflow.
🔗 github.com/amodelandme/Specwright
A workflow and tooling kit for backend engineers who want to move beyond ticket-driven implementation toward spec-driven system design — with living project documents, feature-level specs, implementation notes, and AI-assisted engineering roles built into the loop.
