I am a team lead, software engineer/architect, and community contributor who loves to learn, grow, and make an impact. My expertise lies in developing and growing teams, specializing in distributed systems and cloud development and architecture. I currently specialize in Microsoft technologies and tools -- using .NET and Azure.

I'm also passionate about engaging with the development community—it supercharges my learning and helps everyone. I'm a member of the .NET Foundation, contribute to various open-source projects, have served as a technical reviewer for a few popular books in the .NET community, speak at user groups (in normal times), and write regularly at my site at daveabrock.com. A few of my blog posts were even converted to official ASP.NET Core documentation! I'm grateful that my community accomplishments have earned me the Microsoft MVP award.
