What I am currently focused on. Inspired by nownownow.com.
Last updated: August 25, 2026
Current Focus
- Shipping EF Core Bench Lab: practical EF Core query traces, execution plans, and performance investigations.
- Organising AI Hack Days in Sydney and Brisbane for developers who want practical, hands-on AI learning.
- Building useful .NET + AI experiments, especially local models and agent harnesses.
- Turning notes into sharper tutorials, talks, and demos.
Upcoming Events
- Global AI Construct Brisbane — Small Models, Sharp Jobs — Build a Local Agent That Proves Its Work, a 90-minute hands-on workshop (August 31, 2026) at the Microsoft Brisbane office. We build a .NET agent that runs entirely offline on small open-weight models, proposes typed claims with citations from a service-incident evidence pack, and verifies every one of them in deterministic C# before anything reaches the final brief. Bring a laptop with LM Studio and VS Code.
