I am a passionate technologist and have been a Microsoft MVP since 2014, based in the UK. I enjoy blogging, contributing to the open-source community, and enhancing developers' workflows by creating extensions for Visual Studio and VS Code. I am also enthusiastic about programming languages such as Go, Python, and TypeScript. Additionally, I explore iOS development as a hobby, always seeking new creative avenues in technology.
