I may have gone a bit overboard this year... I've scheduled myself for 5 developer conferences in 4 weeks during October 2025! If you're interested in learning about Clean Architecture, SOLID principles, microservices, modular monoliths, and other software architecture best practices, here's where you can find me speaking across three countries and online.

Whether you're a .NET developer, software architect, or just passionate about writing better code, these sessions will cover practical techniques you can apply immediately to improve your applications.
