Profile README

Hi there 👋, my name is Lance, professional nerd.

⚡ Fun fact: I am also a Microsoft MVP, see https://bit.ly/LanceMVP
🔭 I’m currently working on cool .NET MAUI, Blazor, and Docker/container stuff.
💽 I'm a huge self-hosting nerd, with a 42U rack running dozens of services for myself, friends, and family.
💬 Ask me about anything dotnet, IoT, Azure, MAUI, CI-CD, Docker, Self-Hosting, and solar power systems.
📫 How to reach me:

Day Job

I'm the Senior Manager of Technical Support at Progress Software, responsible for the Americas' support teams covering DevTools and Sitefinty. My team and I provide technical help for developers using Sitefinity, Telerik & Kendo UI DevTools, Test Studio, Fiddler, and more. Check out some of our demos at https://www.telerik.com/support/demos.

I love writing code and watching it come alive. My passion is mostly UI, but also all the things that powers the UI... from backend APIs to AI-powered fun. For one fun example, check out Flusher, the complete system that flushes the toilet for my cat using IoT, SignalR, Azure Custom Vision AI and a mobile+web app to Flush a Toilet.

There are too many hobbies and passions to mention, but as of late I've been having a ton of fun with homelab, networking, and self-hosting. I've been running Home Assistant for many years, my houses are all hooked up with UniFi gear, with site-to-site VPNs up to Azure so I can safely self-host host my fav apps like Portainer, Home Assistant, Immich, etc.
