Hi folks, I'm Aaron (he/him) and I'm an Advocate at Microsoft, focusing on #dotnet on Azure (or .NET on Azure - pick your preference 😝).
I'm here to make the cloud easier for everyone to use, especially for #JavaScript and #dotnet developers.

Making my own esp32 based temperature sensor for @home-assistant.io
I think I did an acceptable job soldering that too.
Now to make an enclosure for it so it's a bit cleaner on my desk...

Toying with a multi-colour print while editing an existing design, initially attempt is a 17hour print with 480 filament changes.
Switching to multi-plate printing and a few orientation tweaks, 3.5hours (plus plate swapping). That's probably better 🤣

Got a 3D printer but needed a place for it to go. Unfortunately, the space isn't big enough for anything standard, so I decided to custom build a workbench for it.
Table tennis table acted as a cutting bench, and I got a nice, snug fit.
And of course a Benchy to print first up 😉

Creating a workshop on building AI Agents with MCP Servers in .NET, so naturally I use Aspire to orchestrate it.
Being able to visualise the resource graph is really quite nifty.
