.NET Developer

Expert generalist • Independent Contractor • Microsoft MVP • Home Assistant enthusiast Hi there! I'm Bogdan Bujdea, a software developer from Romania. I'm currently a .NET independent contractor, and in my free time I get involved in the local .NET community or I'm co-organizing the @dotnetdays conference. I consider myself an expert generalist, mostly because I enjoy trying out new stuff whenever I get the chance and I get bored pretty easily, so on this blog you'll see me posting content from programming tutorials to playing with my smart gadgets.
