Patrick Szalapski
Twenty years of working with web and backend software platforms, including .NET/C# and SQL Server. Extensive experience with Blazor since preview, now 2 years. Experience with hundreds of other languages, platforms, and technologies, including Kubernetes, Argo, Git, HTML/CSS, SCSS, Vue.js, AngularJS, Oracle Database, and many more.
I also serve as a Scrum, Kanban, and Agile coach often as required. I help teams and organizations improve the way they plan and work together. Central to these ideals is holding technical excellence as a top goal; the only way to be fast is to get quality high.
I love mentoring and teach others, working through problems in pairs, and leading trainings and small group learning sessions.
